This blog post will explain everything about the 429 Too Many Requests Error. From how it can occur, the reason for that, and the possible fixes. The “429 too many requests” is an HTTP response. It comes from the server when too many consecutive requests are sent to the server quickly. The server tells you “to stop sending requests” for a while and try again later. In this case, the client exceeded the rate limit set on a server level.

The 429 too many requests error is an HTTP response that belongs to the 400s HTTP responses. These are client-side problems. As the error message suggests, too many requests were sent to the server. The causes for this may be user requests, bots flooding the website, brute force (DDOS) attacks, plugins or custom scrips trying to access the website, or low server resources unable to handle an average number of requests in some time. When the server rate limit is reached, the server sends the HTTP 429 Too Many Requests message to the browser.
