@Dukefrukem @Steam @Steam_Support I don't think that matters. I just keep clicking Continue, and that error changes between "you've tried too much" and "there's been an error". Seems arbitrary.

@JustinRoiland @Steam Seemed after 30 minutes (almost on the dot) I was able to get back to the error message before that one haha

@Steam For anyone experiencing the error for "too many attempts to purchase" garbage that Valve/Steam should have turned off before this, it's 30 mins, it blocks you for 30 mins and then you can get through. Thanks for nothing!

@Steam I think I put the wrong card info in without realizing it and now it's giving me a "you tried to many purchases in the last few hours wait a while" error :( I have a failed transaction I can repurchase, will that keep my spot in line? How long should I wait before trying again?

@Loliconica @Steam Same. I keep getting that and “there seems to be an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again”

@Steam I had the SAME "too many attempts" too. Just sit and wait about 20 minutes (I know it's hard) and then try again. I got the other error instead, but it stopped doing the "attempts" error. I waited one minute between each try and it did eventually go through. Good Luck!!!

@Protostar @Steam I just got to a purchase screen after getting both the transaction and too many attempts errors. I just kept spamming continue on the enter your payment info screen and it eventually let me through? I got an email with my receipt at any rate. So maybe just keep hitting continue.
