I suspect that given this response the error is not with Aeris Weather, but rather you have exceeded one of the rate limits for the Aeris Weather API. If you are using the free contributor plan you have a limit of 1000 hits per day and 100 hits per minute (if you are on a paid plan you likely have higher limits). I suspect you are most likely hitting the per day limit. I have no idea how Belchertown handles Aeris Weather API calls, but I can offer the following suggestions for tracking down the issue.
Is this an ongoing problem or a one off? (if you have exceeded the daily hit limit you will need to wait for the next day before your limit resets). Is there anything earlier in the log (you need to look at all of the day concerned not just the last few minutes)? Do you have anything else that hits the Aeris Weather API (either within WeeWX, on your WeeWX machine or another machine)? If just WeeWX and it an ongoing issue find some log settings that cause Belchertown Aeris Weather API calls to be logged (perhaps debug = 1 or maybe 2, or there maybe a setting in the Belchertown config setting). Once you have the API calls being logged let WeeWX run and count up the calls, are you exceeding either limit? Remember you need to look across the whole day, not just a few minutes/hours. Once you find where the limit is being exceeded then you or others can start looking at a solution.
