Can confirm it let me make about 50 requests and it has now reverted back to the same issue 
@Liam-Shopify Any joy? 
Hey everyone, if you are still experiencing issues can you reply with some information around it. Ideally we prefer if you are trying 3.91.0 since it contained a fix.
If you are still experiencing issues with that version, please let me know what the error is. Are you getting the same 401 error or something new? If you have verbose logs they would be super helpful as well.
@Josh-Shopify Confirming in on the latest CLI and still seeing the same errors - it lets you add 1 or 2 products to cart locally, and then you get hit with the same wave of errors as previously:
Here’s some verbose logs if it helps from the CLI. In addition to these, I get the same /collect endpoint errors as previously aswell every few seconds in the console.

@Lewis thank you so much I’ll take this and look into it!
Is there any internal update on an ETA on a fix for this yet?
We’re currently trying to ship a theme to a client, but we’re really limited at the moment, as you can only make a small number of requests to the cart before we run into issues.
It has been over three weeks now.
I can confirm on the latest CLI 3.91.1 I am getting the same issues as @Lewis - 429 rate limiting request issues after adding performing 2 or 3 cart actions in local dev - e.g. add an item to cart, reduce its quantity in my cart popout twice. Then wave after wave of 429 errors.
I appreciate the responses. We have identified the root cause and are actively working on a fix. I will update again once that’s shipped. We will likely create a snap build for anyone to test as well.

Good morning everyone, we released a patch for the CLI and the new version is 3.92.1. This should fix the rate limiting issues we’ve been seeing along with the 401 status.
If you are still experiencing problems, please let us know and we can take a look.

Hey @Nic_Oliver , could I get some verbose logs from you so I can look at some of the requests going out?
Still having the same issues with the 429 getting triggered after a single add to cart action, making the localhost useless.
Are you also on version 3.92.1?
@Josh-Shopify Don’t know if it’s related but I’m still getting a Expired Access Token Error. See Shopify Theme Dev > Access Token Expired
Assuming you were talking to me: Yes

For anyone experiencing the error, I want to track something else from some of our logs. When you are experiencing the issue, are you using AI sessions through Cursor, claude code etc? If you are, do you experience the same problem when running theme dev outside of it and clicking around to get cart requests to fire?
One case I’m seeing is that there might be an issue when using the Cursor browser and a regular browser like chrome at the same time.
I am still looking into cases where we are seeing non stop 401’s so this is not the only angle we are checking, but it’s helpful to narrow down cases!
Has there been any movement on this yet?
I’m still having to fight with this each time.
I’m updated to the latest version of CLI 3.93.1
--verbose doesn’t seem to output much, but shows the below items
The store shows prices in USD, not the default GBP. When I use the country selector dropdown, it navigates to /localization and gives me the verify connection page. If I click add to cart, console errors out with:

Hey @ConduciveMammal, we have fixed many cases causing the 401’s. I am not sure what is happening in your case. I’m going to DM you with some additional questions.
Thanks!
I’m still getting 401s when just generally running the CLI for a while
