Google has temporarily blocked an IP address after it received a high volume of requests from the same location within a short period. This is a common issue known as “rate limiting” that helps prevent abuse and maintain server stability.
The 429 status code, also known as “Too Many Requests,” indicates that the server has reached its limit for processing requests from that IP address. This can be caused by various factors such as:
* Bot traffic
* Malicious activity
* Heavy usage of a service
When this happens, Google returns an error message to the client’s application or website, preventing further requests until the rate limit is reset.
To resolve the issue, the IP address will need to wait for a certain period before making more requests. The exact duration may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the implementing system’s policies.
This measure helps protect Google’s services from abuse and ensures that all users can access them fairly and securely.
