Bug description:

Hello everybody,
I hope, this is the right place for opening this issue.
Since 2026-02-12, we receive an error in renovate, when the python dependency should be updated.
This seems to be, because the url that is used to fetch the versions (https://www.python.org/api/v2/downloads/release/) returns an error: {"detail":"Request was throttled. Expected available in 42578 seconds."} The number of seconds varies. I also get the error when I open the link in the browser, so I think, it is not a renovate issue.
Do you know by chance what is going on here?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
