A server overload error, indicated by a “429 Too Many Requests” response, occurs when a user exceeds the allowed number of requests to a web server within a given timeframe. This can be due to high traffic, poor network connectivity, or an overwhelming amount of data being requested simultaneously.
Common causes of 429 errors include:
* High website traffic or concurrent users
* Slow internet connections
* Excessive data being transmitted or processed
To resolve the issue, several steps can be taken:
* Reduce the number of requests being made to the server
* Upgrade network connectivity for faster speeds
* Optimize data transmission and processing methods
Ignoring these issues can lead to further complications, such as decreased website performance and loss of user experience.
