A high volume of requests from a single IP address has caused issues with online access to certain websites. This phenomenon occurs when a user, often an automated script, sends too many requests within a short period to the server of a website. The excessive traffic overload can lead to temporary downtime or slow loading times for users.
The 429 Too Many Requests error message is a common response from web servers indicating that there are too many requests coming from a single IP address within a given timeframe. To resolve this issue, the user can try reducing their request rate, using a proxy server, or waiting until the server has recovered from the overload.
The root cause of such issues can be attributed to various factors such as:
* Malicious bots and scraping scripts
* Automated testing tools
* High-traffic websites with inadequate infrastructure
* DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attacks
