Description

I just created an account with Metamask on Chrome and MacOS.

I am trying to get faucet from https://faucet.metamask.io/ but getting the following error:

`Error: 500 {"error":"[ethjs-query] while formatting outputs from RPC '{\"value\":{\"code\":-32603,\"message\":\"Too Many Requests\",\"data\":{\"originalError\":{}},\"stack\":\"Error: Too Many Requests\\n at eval (/www/node_modules/web3-provider-engine/subproviders/rpc.js:52:23)\\n at Request.eval [as _callback] (/www/node_modules/web3-provider-engine/subproviders/rpc.js:54:11)\\n at Request.self.callback (/www/node_modules/request/request.js:186:22)\\n at Request.emit (events.js:315:20)\\n at Request.eval (/www/node_modules/request/request.js:1155:10)\\n at Request.emit (events.js:315:20)\\n at IncomingMessage.eval (/www/node_modules/request/request.js:1077:12)\\n at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:421:28)\\n at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:327:22)\\n at endReadableNT (internal/streams/readable.js:1327:12)\"}}'"}`

Also, I tried with FireFox and Ubuntu but same error. Note that, my account has no ether at the moment.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure at https://faucet.metamask.io/ with the reported browser and operating-system combinations, and inspect the quoted RPC error. No repository file, test, or code entry point is identified; done would require determining the cause of the 500 Too Many Requests response and verifying that the Ropsten faucet can provide ether to a new account.
