We get the error 1015 that says we are rate limited, even though we only checked once that day. My fiancé called the embassy number listed for the US (VA area code 703) to point that out, and they just said to keep checking on the website.
We are seeing people here trying for a month. That's ridiculous that we have to do that. My fiancé will be writing his congressman to let him know about this. I would recommend we all do the same. It's super easy - https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member and key in your zip code. Then write them a letter.
