file could not be downloaded (HTTP/2 429 ) on 'composer update'

Question

I am encountering the following issue while executing 'composer update' on my project:

**Error:** The requested files could not be downloaded (HTTP/2 429).

This problem specifically arises when Composer attempts to download certain private repositories.

In my composer.json file, I have defined repositories as follows:

{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://bitbucket.org/******.git"
}

Considering that I should be comfortably within the limit of 1,000 requests per hour, I am seeking insights into the possible reasons for this error. Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.

@Syahrul we are using an auth.json with consumer-key, consumer-secret, and access-token

Welcome to the community.

My question is, are you authenticated when making API calls? If not, you are probably using anonymous requests, which are limited to 60 requests per hour, as stated in our documentation.
