Cloudflare error 1015: You are being rate limited
The website temporarily blocked you for sending too many requests.
Quick answer
Error 1015 is shown by Cloudflare when the website owner set a limit on how many requests are allowed in a short time, and you went over it. Cloudflare does not set this limit; the website owner does.
When to wait: Yes. Rate limits end after the time set by the owner.
If you are visiting the website
- Wait, then try once Wait a while before trying again. Repeated tries can keep the block active.
- Contact the website If it continues, contact the website owner; only they can change the limit.
If you run the website
- Review rate limiting rules Make sure the limit allows normal use. A longer counting period can reduce false blocks.
Likely causes

- Sometimes Many people share your network address, for example in an office or on a VPN. (Your side)
- Sometimes The limit is set too strictly. (Website side)
What to avoid
