Hi Vijaya,

If you have changed the User-Agent to comply with the usage policy and
still being blocked then you are likely in violation for faking
another request header.
Please review the Technical Requirement section here:
https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/

Kind regards,

Grant
