    Too Many Requests Error

    Too Many Requests Error

    What to do when you see a 'Too many requests' or 429 error in AliasFleet

    2 min read
    Updated May 18, 2026

    You've hit AliasFleet's rate limit. This is a temporary block — your account is fine, nothing is broken, and it clears on its own.

    Why this happens

    Every account has a limit on how many API requests it can make per minute. When you go over that limit, the server responds with a 429 Too Many Requests error until the window resets.

    This can happen if you:

    • Refresh a page very quickly several times in a row
    • Have multiple tabs open doing background syncing simultaneously
    • Run a script or automation that makes rapid requests
    • Have a browser extension that's polling frequently

    Normal use of AliasFleet — browsing aliases, sending emails, checking activity — won't trigger this.

    What to do

    Wait. The limit resets automatically, usually within 60 seconds. You'll see a message telling you how long to wait. Once it clears, everything works normally again.

    Don't keep retrying — repeated attempts during a block just extend the frustration. One reload after the wait is all you need.

    Login-specific blocks

    If the error occurs on the login page, it means there have been too many failed login attempts from your IP. This block lasts up to 10 minutes and is a security measure against brute-force attacks.

    Wait 10 minutes, then try logging in again. If you've forgotten your password, use Forgot Password instead of guessing repeatedly.

    If you're a developer or building an integration

    Your plan's per-minute limit applies to all API usage. The 429 response includes a Retry-After header that tells you exactly how many seconds to wait. Implement exponential backoff in your integration to handle this gracefully.

    Limits by plan:

    PlanRequests per minute
    Free50
    Pro100
    Business200

    If you're regularly hitting limits, upgrading your plan is the cleanest solution. See API Rate Limits by Plan.

    Still seeing the error after waiting?

    If the error persists for more than a few minutes and you haven't been making rapid requests, open a support ticket so we can investigate.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does a 'Too many requests' block last?

    General API blocks clear within 60 seconds. Login attempt blocks last up to 10 minutes. The error message will tell you exactly how long to wait.

    Why did I get this error just by refreshing the page?

    Rapidly refreshing a page can fire multiple background API calls at once. Slow down, wait 60 seconds, and reload once. It won't happen under normal use.

    Will my account be penalized or suspended for hitting the rate limit?

    No. Rate limits are temporary and automatic. Your account is not flagged, penalized, or at risk of suspension for hitting them occasionally.

    My automation script is getting 429 errors. What should I do?

    Add a backoff delay between requests and respect the Retry-After header in the 429 response. Upgrading to a higher plan will also increase your per-minute allowance.
