[Python] How to reset a StackAPIError: 502, 'throttle_violation', 'too many requests from this...

I need to reset a StackAPIError: ('https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/sites/?pagesize=1000&page=1&filter=!*L1*AY-85YllAr2)', 502, 'throttle_violation', 'too many requests from this IP, more requests available in 80678 seconds').

I have tried different rate_limit settings and different time-delays before my fetches but still continue to get this error. I cannot continue to wait 24 hours for this error to clear to try another time delay setting to only get the error again. My question and answer fetches are shown below.

SITE = StackAPI('stackoverflow')
max_questions = 100


try:
time.sleep(random.uniform(4, 7)) # Wait between 4 and 7 seconds to avoid StackAPIError: 502, Throttle Violation, Too Many Requests
questions = SITE.fetch('questions', tagged='visual-studio', sort='votes', pagesize=max_questions, page=1, filter='withbody', rate_limit=2)


try:
time.sleep(random.uniform(4, 7)) # Wait between 4 and 7 seconds to avoid StackAPIError: 502, Throttle Violation, Too Many Requests
answer_data = SITE.fetch('answers/{ids}', ids=[accepted_answer_id], filter='withbody')
