Thanks for the message. I've escalated the problem-submission error to the appropriate group so that they can look into that bug and hopefully they'll have it fixed shortly. As to the error, it's because whenever a user adds the module to their homepage (and, presumably on some regular basis after that), it triggers a swarm of queries to our servers for all the user's json tag pages from a proxy server. Unsurprisingly, our servers throttle that flood of queries as more users add this module and the error you are seeing there is the fallout from that. Without understanding in finer-grained detail the inner workings of your module I can't really analyze the situation beyond that, but I would hope that there'd be at least some caching and algorithmic backing-off on the proxy server side.
