Aggressive bot detection with 429 errors AJAX Cart API

I don’t understand how Shopify expects developers to support themes if we are getting rate limited in a local development environment. I respect that you (@Paige-Shopify) are doing your best to respond in this thread but this problem is getting out of hand. It has become unsustainable to develop and test a theme on Shopify. What is the fix because I am honestly extremely frustrated as a developer. I ask you to please not link me to this help article too because it has not resolved the issue.

Hi @sanico_software, we have recently shipped another fix for local theme development. Can you confirm if upgrading to the latest CLI version resolves the issue for you?

If not, Josh is looking for further feedback through the thread Luke linked above.

Issue has been opened in January and still not fixed.

I’m not even able to access localhost to work on theme.
