To simplify the process, your computer sends out an HTTP request so it can get the information to load a website, and in return, the page gives you an HTTP response. However, sometimes errors can arise with HTTP. One of the most famous of these is HTTP 404 Page Not Found. This error appears whenever a page on a website is missing or has been moved. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll be focusing on HTTP Error 429.

What is HTTP Error 429 Too Many Requests?

HTTP Error 429 is actually less of an error and more of a response to overactivity. This particular error appears when your computer sends out way too many requests to access the website. A common place where this happens is in high-security portions of a website. If you try to log in over and over again, the website will deny you access. Fortunately, fixing this error is very easy to do. This guide will go over the simplest ways to fix HTTP Error 429.

Quick tip:

A solution to this request can be to use a different browser such as Opera that is not only safer but also has a built-in VPN in order to change you IP address and make the servers see you as being located in a different part of the globe, eliminating the security error. Apart from the fact that is does not put you through a hard setup process, this browser lets you directly and precisely achieve your goal.

How do I fix Error 429?

1. Just wait

Honestly, one of the best things that you can do to get past an Error 429 is to simply wait. Try again at a later time. A lot of the times when a browser gives you the error, there will be a message informing you to try again later. After waiting several minutes, try to log in again and see if that works. If that didn’t help, try out one of the following methods.

2. Clear browser cache and history

Clearing out the browser cache is highly recommended. The above section showed you how to do it on Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, which are some of the most popular browsers on Windows.

How do I avoid 429 requests?

Stop sending so any requests. Again, HTTP 429 isn’t necessarily an error. It’s a message from the server asking you to stop spamming requests and asking for access. Granted, it’s possible that the server hasn’t been configured correctly and has a rather high rate limiter. If you feel that’s the case, then we recommend contacting the server admin to see if you can get that fixed.
