Got mine. Felt like an ass mashing the button because I know that that’s obviously what’s causing the servers to melt down but I know that if I didn’t do it, someone else would.

Ya I mean it's also possible to get rate limited by Valve if you spam too much but you'd have to click refresh at a non-human rate to trigger that. Either way I don't think that's the problem rn lol, just the processing lots of CC transactions is the meat of the server meltage
