      We are currently working on implementing an appropriate rate limit rule for the old Mojang API to ensure our servers are not strained by scanning traffic. At the same time, we want to ensure this does not impact legitimate traffic. We are aware of the issue and investigating it.

      Since roughly the 15th of January around 3PM GMT, querying the Public API will result in random 403 Forbidden errors.

      When trying to query the API, it will randomly returns a 403 Forbidden error. This error is random as if you refresh you will sometimes not get it.

      This also is not related to a specific username or world location as multiple people are getting it around the world.

      This is a Blocker Issue as it makes the Public API Production useless due to the lack of reliability on it.

      Step to reproduce:
