Server Version#:1.42.2.10156 Player Version#: Android TV I am trying to connect my local plex server via my new Android TV but was unable to connect. I tried to check the logs and I saw this; ‘error code=“1003” message=“API rate limit exceeded” status=“429”’ ı already edited ‘Custom server address’ and ‘Lan networks’ settings after unable to connect but can not try again due to API limit. ---

You were affected by a certificate which was stuck during its renewal process. I have revoked it now. Please wait at least 10 minutes, then stop and restart your server. ---
