Add me to the 429 list.

I have 3 clamav installations (Debian Bullseye).  All 3 are on separate
networks (in separate datacenters, at separate hosting providers)

~$ for m in mx1 mx2 mx3; do echo -n "$m:  "; ssh $m grep ^Check 
/etc/clamav/freshclam.conf; done
mx1:  Checks 12
mx2:  Checks 12
mx3:  Checks 12

All 3 MXes got this exact same set of messages, two times, over the past
4 hours.

Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]: FreshClam previously received error code 
429 from the ClamAV Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]: This means that you have been rate limited 
by the CDN.
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:  1. Run FreshClam no more than once an 
hour to check for updates.
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:     FreshClam should check DNS first to 
see if an update is needed.
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:  2. If you have more than 10 hosts on your 
network attempting to download,
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:     it is recommended that you set up a 
private mirror on your network using
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:     cvdupdate 
(https://pypi.org/project/cvdupdate/) to save bandwidth on the
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:     CDN and your own network.
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:  3. Please do not open a ticket asking for 
an exemption from the rate limit,
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]:     it will not be granted.
Sep  4 12:49:37 mx2 freshclam[1264]: You are still on cool-down until after: 
2021-09-04 14:49:37


Something is not right with the CDN.
