This appears to have everything to do with your public IP. I change my internet connection to my iPhone hotspot and everything works, go back to my Verizon Fios internet connection and i get -429 error. I can go back and forth without changing anything but the internet connection and this is the consistent behavior. Why is my public IP getting blocked Mojang when I pay for Realms service?
Jeff - I would expect that after a certain amount of time, if a public IP block on their server is in fact the issue, that they (the infrastructure team supporting the Realms servers) will release the block after a certain amount of time. That would explain why your IP could work again after some time. This dynamic block behavior is common in firewall type software as well.
My next thought is on how to avoid any behavior I am in control of that may be causing this. I'm wondering if there is some behavior like 4 or 5 members of the same family (using the same public IP) disconnecting from the realm when it is time to go to bed to fast forward to daytime. Perhaps that disconnecting and reconnecting to the realm by multiple people behind the same public IP puts us on a blacklist - this is all just speculation. My family plays Minecraft a lot more than I do and this is just the first time I experienced the 429 error.
