@ninadpachpute That’s because you make too much requests. Under the hood fetchTickers uses ticker/24h, which is quite “heavy” request. And you’re limited to 1200 points per minute, when fetchTickers takes 242 points at this moment:

[{'rateLimitType': 'REQUESTS', 'interval': 'MINUTE', 'limit': 1200}, 
{'rateLimitType': 'ORDERS', 'interval': 'SECOND', 'limit': 10},
{'rateLimitType': 'ORDERS', 'interval': 'DAY', 'limit': 100000}]

Add sleep(X) to avoid this. Also count your requests: https://github.com/binance-exchange/binance-official-api-docs/blob/master/rest-api.md

There’s also another problem: Binance should return 429 first, not 418. But AFAIU, it’s a known bug for this moment. Binance is quite strict about API usage…
