US Chess API Limits Lowered

Third-party vendors are overloading our data system, causing frequent issues for Tournament Directors (TDs) and players submitting tournaments and affecting our entire tournament system. Therefore, we have made a decision to lower the API usage limits on a temporary basis until we can adequately control and allocate system resources. 

US Chess will always prioritize TDs and players over automated third-party requests for our data. We will also be releasing a data usage policy and agreement, setting out our plan to work with and manage other sites, users, and vendors.

Thank you for your patience and attention to this matter.
