I use ClamAV on a Devuan ASCII (based on Debian Stretch) machine and
when try to update databases I get error 429 from server (logged in

Is there a way to solve this?

code 429 means you make a problem:

are you behind NAT? do you use clamav on multiple machines?



After a long time I tried to scan a file but saw databases are very old
and update was not working. Then I deleted databases
from /var/lib/clamav thinking this will resolve problem. But obviously
I was wrong. And yes, I have another machine with clamav which is
behind the same NAT as the problematic machine.

Now I just copied files from another machine and freshclam says
databases are up to date. I'll see after update become available if
freshclam will be able to download it.

Advice, for literally anyone:

Upgrade to 103.2.  The FreshClam there is much better and will resolve the issues.
