I found the largest source of these errors and fixed the issue, so this should hopefully now be a thing of the past! Look out for a new update in the near future with new features, including an improved card scanner, better trades importing and exporting, and a new swipe layout for search results. Thank you for using Spellbook! ### 2.3.2 — 2026-04-16 Seen any scary "You are being rate-limited, DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING" error screens in the app? It's not your fault!

This update respects those tighter limits so you should no longer see this error. ### 2.3.1 — 2026-01-09 - Updated affiliate links and settings text In 2.3.0: - Card prices are now available for Mana Pool and Star City Games!
