[Bug - Partner Center] Store listing DDOS

[carlosjeurissen]

When saving a store listing, it seems to quickly fire many requests and logs correlation id errors. Followed by an access allowed when refreshing the pages (probably because partner center thinks we are executing some DDOS.

Hi @carlosjeurissen could you please provide the HAR file to help investigate this scenario better.

This issue not reproable for me, could you provide exact steps to reproduce this error as well as provide your extension package to help repro this issue.

@Rahul-Bauri Thanks for your reply! What might be relevant: the item is currently in review and the changes are a new revision on top of that. It happened AFTER the update was pushed and the extension icon was all of a suddent gone from some of the locale listings after pushing the update. I attempted to fix this by duplicating the extension icon English. It then got in this situation mentioned above.

Reproducing it again on my side is tricky as the IP gets blocked every time it happens. Also sharing an HAR file here on GitHub is a bit troublesome due to all private info contained in them.

As for reproducing, the exact steps are shown in the video. Go to one of the store listings, click on save/close and see it cycle through all the requests.

Was able to reproduce the exact same issue with this extension:
Store ID: 0RDCKB76M4QS
Product ID: c2ad7e6e-5624-47eb-9038-844eddf0f9f3

I submitted an update with all store listings. After submission, the "store listing" turned grey again and seems to have forgotten many of the listings. Something which seems to happen often. Even aspects like marketing images, keywords, and screenshots randomly disappear from listings.

In general the store listing feature is still extremely buggy. Half the time it does not even save the changes you made and you need to go back and enter the information for a specific language.

Hi @carlosjeurissen could you please share the HAR file over our DL: ext_dev_support@microsoft.com

It would be very helpful for the engineering team to investigate and help with resolution

@Rahul-Bauri Thanks for your reply! I can not do that as the extension is currently in a different state now, in which the issue does not show up. I do have a pending email to ext_dev_support@microsoft.com about this specific product (with Store ID: 0RDCKB76M4QS and Product ID: c2ad7e6e-5624-47eb-9038-844eddf0f9f3). Which may be the cause of this issue.
