Error (ERR_NON_2XX_3XX_RESPONSE): Response code 429 (Too Many Requests)

[parsam97]

Summary

I recently ran into an issue with the Salesforce CLI when executing:

sf plugins discover

I received this error:

Error (ERR_NON_2XX_3XX_RESPONSE): Response code 429 (Too Many Requests)

I am not running any extra scripts or CI jobs. The command was run manually from my home network. I even downgraded to the earlier CLI version and tried disconnecting from my VPN, but the error persists.

Steps To Reproduce

• run sf plugins discover

Expected result

get the available plugins

Actual result

Error (ERR_NON_2XX_3XX_RESPONSE): Response code 429 (Too Many Requests)

I'm seeing the same thing

 ➜  sf plugins discover                            
Error (ERR_NON_2XX_3XX_RESPONSE): Response code 429 (Too Many Requests)

I think we're just sending too many requests for every plugin, will look into this
