"notes": "iOS/macOS Shortcuts community — sort by Top of the week to surface the cleverest automations. top/.json is now fully blocked (2026-06/07), and top.rss?t=week 429s too. The www .rss endpoint 429'd 3+ consecutive runs (2026-07-04/05/06); switched feedUrl to old.reddit.com/.rss 2026-07-07 — identical Atom feed, no rate-limit observed. No OAuth needed. 2026-07-14: old.reddit.com/.rss returned HTTP 429 this run (first occurrence since the 07-07 switch). r/macapps and r/dadjokes on the same domain succeeded in the same run, so this reads as intermittent rate-limiting, not a block — no change yet; if it 429s on 3 consecutive runs, probe OAuth. 2026-07-22: whole-host login wall for the 2nd consecutive run — old.reddit.com/<sub>/.rss returns a 'Welcome to Reddit' HTML page (~298 KB) instead of Atom for every sub. REDDIT_CLIENT_ID / REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET are present in the environment but do not authenticate. 2026-07-28 re-measured: the credentials are now correctly *shaped* (16-character ID, 32-character secret — the earlier note that the ID held the app name 'unique-editorial' is superseded), yet all three grant types return HTTP 401 Unauthorized against www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token: client_credentials with the secret, installed_client with the secret, and installed_client with an empty secret. A correctly-formed pair failing every grant points at the app registration itself — revoked, deleted, or the secret rotated without the environment being updated — not at a formatting mistake. Regenerating the secret on the Reddit app page is the fix. Demoted daily → as-needed rather than fetch:skip so the source is not dropped while that is being fixed; restore cadence:daily once OAuth returns a token.
