Hi,

Similar to other posts, I have accidentally exceeded the [wandb rate limitations](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/track/limits#rate-limits).

I am completely unable to view my wandb console, even after stopping the processes that caused the rate limit to trigger, and waiting several days:

 ![wandb rate limit exceeded](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/wandb/original/2X/b/be66cc18a480fc50288337f35a815cb86e9de8d2.png)

It seems entirely appropriate to me for wandb to enforce a rate limit, but I don’t think that rate limit should apply to the web interface, for an extended time, especially after stopping the excessive requests.

What can I do to resolve this, and how should I avoid triggering it in the future?
