Steam's website is showing "too many requests" errors on a Thursday, outside of Valve's usual Tuesday maintenance. The issue affects web access while friends lists and matchmaking continue operating according to the status page.
PC Gamer updated at ~4:33pm PT July 9 that the 'too many requests' error has cleared for the Steam store (now loading for most users), though SteamStat.us still shows issues with website servers in Dubai.
The errors are occurring on a Thursday rather than the typical Tuesday maintenance window when Valve performs scheduled updates.
The outage leaves users unable to browse the store or community on the web while other platform elements stay online.

Kingdom Hearts 4 received an extended D23 trailer on August 15, 2026 that shows dedicated gameplay for Mickey Mouse, Donald, and Goofy along with new Sora abilities and Coco world footage. The title remains on track for a late 2027 launch across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
Disney has identified Kingdom Hearts as one of its nine billion-dollar game franchises in a company news page timed to its D23 expo. The disclosure precedes a Deep Dive panel that kicks off the series' 25th anniversary events running through 2027.
A Redditor purchased and photographed what appears to be an Xbox Elite Series 3 prototype before their account and parts of the thread vanished. The device matches a May leak and includes a built-in screen, cloud gaming features, and repairability elements, with sources confirming a release later this year.
