@dtoast: Pretty sure it last worked for me on 2024-01-23. I can tell you that the last video to play on GB Infinite while the API worked for me is 2016 - Jason & Fam. So if you have GB Infinite video history logs that should narrow it down pretty good.
For years, the API page has reported weird results for my API usage. It reports a crazy high number that never (or very rarely) resets, and says my "request rate is fine" despite that.
I have reported this previously, but it was never that big a deal because I was never actually blocked from using the API. But as of today, all my API requests are now returning a "Rate limit exceeded" error. I only use the API to make a request to the /chats endpoint every two minutes. That should be 30 requests per hour, well below rate limits.
Would it be possible to have a new API key generated for my account? I am hoping that would fix the strange API key behavior I have been experiencing for years now.
Nice essay, thanks for writing it! One thing I enjoyed with the Ashtray Maze set piece is how it subverted the expectations that came with its name. When I first encountered it, and also wasted time trying to puzzle out how to progress, I assumed it would be a big, confusing, ever-shifting pain in the ass.
I think what the music that plays during the sequence very successfully conveys to the player is that, no, this is not actually a puzzling maze sequence. Resist the urge to dilly dally in each room looking for secrets; just move forward and run and jump and shoot. So for that reason I appreciated the music being so different from what you would expect.
