Fix: Set max retries to 1

Getting banned by trakt api if doing more than once.

Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the MAX_RETRIES constant within the TokenAuth class in the trakt/api.py file, reducing the number of token refresh attempts from 3 to 1. This change simplifies the token refresh mechanism by limiting the retry attempts, which means the system will now stop trying to refresh the OAuth token after a single failed attempt.

Poem

🐰 A token's dance, now brief and light,
One try to refresh, then fade from sight
No more three chances, just a single leap
OAuth's retry, no longer deep
A rabbit's wisdom: sometimes less is more! 🔑

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

176-176: Consider implementing proper rate limiting

To properly address API bans, consider implementing:

1. Rate limiting based on Trakt API guidelines
2. Respect for rate limit headers in responses
3. Exponential backoff for failed requests

Would you like me to:

1. Generate a proper rate limiting implementation?
2. Open a GitHub issue to track this enhancement?

176-176: ⚠️ Potential issue

Misaligned solution: Token refresh attempts vs API request retries

The change reduces OAuth token refresh attempts, but this won't address the API ban issue. Token refresh:

1. Uses a different endpoint (/oauth/token) that's excluded from regular API calls
2. Only occurs when the access token is near expiry
3. Is part of the OAuth2 flow, not regular API requests

Reducing token refresh attempts could lead to more frequent authentication failures requiring manual intervention, potentially causing more API calls when users need to re-authenticate.

Let's verify the actual cause of API bans. Run this script to:

1. Find the request retry mechanism
2. Check for rate limiting headers
3. Look for API call patterns

Recommendation: Instead of modifying token refresh attempts, we should:

1. Verify if the API bans are caused by request retries
2. Investigate implementing proper rate limiting
3. Consider adding exponential backoff for failed requests
