I was creating a new subclass and I received the following:
You have reached the maximum number of read-only characters you can view at this time. Please try again in five minutes.
this sounds like I am rate limited? I really wasn't doing anything fancy just making a new subclass why would I meet some rate limit or even have one considering I pay a decent sum for this service.
the rate limiting was added because unfortunately, when character sharing was added to D&D Beyond, some people's first reaction was to create bots to trawl the site to check every character and it trashed site performance.
It shouldn't kick in for you when you're creating a subclass though!
I don't know if this would be an issue, but are you sharing an internet connection with others who are using D&D Beyond at the same time? My own tests have found it difficult to get the rate limit to kick in - a couple of weeks ago I was playing in a 12 person game at a friend's house (all using his wi-fi) and we never encountered it.

Err... why? I mean, I'm assuming there was some purpose in it other than to deliberately trash the site? I just can't grok any reason why you'd want a bot to trawl hundreds of thousands of characters.

I have run into the same issue: It occurred when I was deleting the class features from the draconic sorcerer I was using as a subclass template. I have no other users of D&D Beyond living with me at this time.
One reason that may relate to the features mentioned is that I was editing the subclass while I had it assigned to a temporary character I made to make sure the features appeared as I intended, which I had open in another tab.
I like looking at other folks character but I am not gonna use a bot to look at everyone I didn't even think of that. Is that what caused those slow days? That's like when your trying to play world of warcraft and those backside hats of hacking clog the que so you can't play. Things to just ruin it for others, in this day and age I really wouldn't be surprised if hackers did do it to be just well you know whats.

D&D Beyond FoundersOne reason I heard was, "Looking for the Critical Role characters" though I guess data gathering in volume can be useful also.
I don't know the reasons why people did it, possibly just because they could and didn't stop to think about the consequences of their actions.
