Package Invalid --- how about a clue?

I'm trying to notarize a pkg file that I created. The command looks like this (names changed to protect the guilty!)

xcrun altool --notarize-app --file "$PACKAGE_LOCATION"  --password "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" --primary-bundle-id "com.***.yyy.package" --verbose

I get an email back that notarization failed and when I query it, all I get back is

        Status: invalid
   Status Code: 2
Status Message: Package Invalid

There is also a large LogFileURL and when I paste that into a browser I get (Request ID hidden)

<Error>
<Code>429</Code>
<Message>Application byte rate limit exceeded.</Message>
<RequestId>xxxxxxxxxxxxxx</RequestId>
<Resource>
/itmspod12-assets-massilia-032001/Enigma122/v4/d2/5e/9f/d25e9f49-7d49-f370-b142-cee30a862f8a/p6R3Xe9Q2x3GmKcysMtiZJvIdjrI0Vw2TYKBCvZgU2M_U003d-1649862816665
</Resource>
</Error>

and I have no idea what the message means there.

Any help would be appreciated.

OK - so somehow that URL wasn't working for a while, just returning that rate limited exceeded method and trying again a few hours later actually gave me real explanations.

Phew

so somehow that URL wasn't working for a while

Well, that’s annoying. However, I see that you’re still using altool and so…

Note that altool has been deprecated for the purposes of notarisation. Switch to notarytool; it’s better, stronger, and faster. For the details, see WWDC 2021 Session 10261 Faster and simpler notarization for Mac apps.
