429 Too Many Requests

The 429 Too Many Requests status code indicates that the client has sent too many requests in a specified amount of time, as determined by the server's rate-limiting rules. The server may include a Retry-After header in the response to specify when the client can try again.

For more details, refer to RFC 6585.

Common use cases

Servers use this status code to prevent excessive API requests from overloading the system. For example, a client making repeated API calls within a short time frame may trigger a 429 response. Websites or services may impose rate limits to manage traffic spikes or prevent abuse, temporarily blocking excessive requests from users.

Website end users

Cloudflare will generate a 429 response when a request is being rate limited. If visitors to your site encounter this error, it will be visible in the Rate Limiting Analytics dashboard.
