Google and other websites experienced a temporary outage due to high traffic. This is often referred to as “too many requests” error. The issue typically occurs when too many users try to access the website simultaneously, overwhelming its servers. To prevent this in the future, some websites are implementing new security measures such as limiting concurrent connections or introducing rate limiting.
Some possible causes of this error include:
* High-traffic events
* Server overload
* DDoS attacks
Restoration of service was achieved through various means including server maintenance, traffic redistribution and increased server capacity.
