“Sorry! There was an error editing your Pin”

This is the error I am constantly getting when I try to edit the website of my existing manually created Pins.

I found a workaround … sort of: logging in and out of my Pinterest account and using different browsers (latest versions of Edge and Chrome).

It was exhausting just to change the websites on a few existing, manually created Pins, because I’d have to do the above for every single Pin (and they weren’t consistent fixes. Sometimes I would have to do the logging in and out and use different browsers 2-3X).

Does anyone else have this problem and a better workaround?

ETA: there appears to be a time penalty “levied” if you make too many changes too quickly … ergo, the error message in my originating post (I believe @HightonRidley  mentioned this in one of my other Pinterest posts).

I put a stopwatch to it, and Pinterest is letting me modify the website addresses of individual pins after 5 minutes. Modifying the websites earlier than that will cause the error message to pop up.
