High Server Load Causing “Too Many Requests” Errors

A spike in traffic has caused a widespread issue for web applications using the Too Many Requests feature. The problem occurs when an IP address makes too many requests to a server within a short period, triggering this error.

The client_ip and request_id provided by the Too Many Requests client indicate that 37.27.54.14 made multiple requests with the request ID 804920852. This suggests an overload of traffic on the server, likely due to excessive or malicious activity.

To mitigate this issue, developers can implement rate limiting measures, such as IP blocking or limiting the number of requests per time period. Additionally, monitoring system logs and adjusting server configurations can help prevent similar errors in the future.
