That message means Reddit thinks you’re sending too many web requests too fast to their servers, so they’re slowing you down a bit with a short timeout. Deleting cookies won’t help with that.
Do you maybe have any addons in Firefox, or userscripts, which might be accessing Reddit’s API? Maybe they’re broken and just spamming. Because I don’t see how normal browser usage could trigger this. Unless Shreddit is really THAT badly designed. It’s a shame I can’t recommend Old Reddit anymore, now that they killed access to it for anyone not already using it.
This is also likely to happen if they’re using a VPN, since all requests from anyone else using the same VPN server will appear to be coming from the same IP address.

Alternatively, @uten151@thelemmy.club could have a Smart TV with one of the many apps installed that sets up a residential proxy so that other users/bots can use their IP address to appear to be legitimate traffic.
I am using VPN. That’s probably causing my issue. Thanks.
