runTestAndWait() often causes 429 Too Many Requests errors #197
Description
I noticed that runTestAndWait() has recently started to throw 429 errors. It seems to be caused by the polling the function performs.
Related: I tried to set a high number for the pollResults option (we used the default, which shouldn't cause 429 either imo :)), but it doesn't seem to do anything, the status updates (e.g., Waiting at the front of the queue...) are printed at the same-ish interval regardless of what I configure.
wpt.runTestAndWait( url, {
location: 'gce-europe-west4',
connectivity: 'Cable',
runs: 1,
firstViewOnly: true,
keepOriginalUserAgent: true,
pollResults: 30,
timeout: 120,
lighthouse: false,
})Testing is in progress, please be patient

Hi @rejhgadellaabsl. Were you able to solve this? I have the same issue.
rejhgadellaabsl commentedon Feb 18, 2025
Yeah, but it looks like I deleted the emails I exchanged with support...
If I remember correctly,
pollResultsis not the correct parameter to tweak this, you have to setpollinstead (we've set it to20and that seems to work fine)levipadre commentedon Feb 18, 2025
Thank you @rejhgadellaabsl, I will try it. I appreciate your help.
