Temp error. Backing off 16 seconds...attempt 5/10 - Printing users who forward mail.

[Joey Pistone]

When I ran this command against my domain 

python gam.py all users show forward | grep -v "Enabled:false"

I got this error 

Temp error. Backing off 16 seconds...attempt 5/10

Temp error. Backing off 32 seconds...^Cclose failed in file object destructor:

sys.excepthook is missing

lost sys.stderr

Anyone have any insight?

I am getting the same errors:

Giving my.user@domain.com delegate access to my.other.user@domain.com (1 of 1)

Temp error. Backing off 16 seconds...attempt 5/10

Temp error. Backing off 32 seconds...attempt 6/10
Temp error. Backing off 60 seconds...attempt 7/10
Temp error. Backing off 60 seconds...attempt 8/10

I have not made any particular change to my configuration.

It seems like it is python related.

It is working again now for no particular reason.
