Im running a 3rd party tool to import a height map and when I try to do so I get a response that the OSM servers are busy and to try again later. Is there a better time to try this again, when are the servers not as busy? Does this indicate I did something wrong somewhere? program is TGC Golf Tools and im importing a map of my families golf course to use on PGA 2k25. appreciate any help.
Looks like TGC-Designer-Tools is using OverPy to access the Overpass servers, which in turn doesn’t send customized user agents yet. This is a requirement for the use of the public Overpass servers since a month or two now. You’ll have to ask the maintainers of TGC-Designer-Tools to adapt their code.
