DataField Temporal webrequest returns -101

-101 is "Too many requests have been made."

Are you use you are only making 1 request at at time?  Based on Android or iOS, the Garmin device may only allow one at a time.

positive, and this is all via the Simulator with direct access. The Http Traffic logs show only 1 call (which works) and the PrinIn only shows once

You shouldn't do the Background.exit() on line 22.  With the makeWebRequest, the Background.exit(() should only be don in the callback for the request

even without that the respnse is still -101 with only 1 call.

Did you comment out the Background.exit() on line 22?

I did, Which I swear I had done before but that seemed to do the trick. Now instead of the -101 I have -402 and then a -403 so thank you Jim.

Now I just need to figure out if I can make the payload small enough to be worth the bother of the datafield

The Background.exit() you had at line 22 right after you did the makeWebRequest() was terminating the background service before any data came back from the makeWebRequest.
