A recent upload failed to blur my face throughout most of the capture. I started going through and manually adding blurs. Eventually, it stopped working. When I add a blur, a message at the bottom of the screen that says “Problem creating blur. Please try again”.

This happened one other time when I added a bunch of blurs. I’m wondering if there is a limit. If so, how long does it take to reset?

I’m still having trouble. I’ll just wait a bit longer. For anyone wondering this in the future, you do get rate limited. I confirmed by output in my browser console.
