'Error: Too Many REST Failures' after module operation for extended period

[kyle-kelly]

I continue to move into a state (perhaps after anywhere from 1 to 7 days) where the module only displays 'Error: Too Many REST Failures' and then never recovers without a MM restart. However, after the restart the module always and immediately begins to work.

I attempted to get around this by commenting out this line. However, the error persists.

This tells me that I am continuing to receive errors from the WMATA API calls, and therefore the module will continue to display the error message.

BUT, going into my WMATA account, I can see that in the past 90 days I have made 324,169 successful calls and only 2 failed calls. Now I am not sure if an error is only considered a fail or if errors can be contained in a successful call. My graph or error calls appears to flat and at 0.

Any ideas on why this may be happening?

I've been having this issue as well, any luck in figuring out a workaround? I'm currently using scheduled restarts of my mirror so it's working in the mornings.

@johnstep93 I'm pretty sure this repo is not maintained. I forked it and maintain my own. I’ve also added bus times. You can see it here: https://github.com/kyle-kelly/MMM-DCMetroTimes

@kyle-kelly Thanks for letting me know! I'll try switching over!
