Error: 'Slow down, too many requests from this IP address'

I experienced this issue as well. I was blocked out of the forum for about an hour due to this.

I am seeing this problem too. I thought it was from testing a game that saves too much. But maybe not?

Also occurring for me, it’s happened on my phone and laptop.

@PersonifiedPizza stated this was similar to my error, and it is.

Happens to me aswell. But there is everything fine with my internet. Its very strange.

I am experiencing this issue on iOS 15.0. It will randomly not load and then when I look at the file it is saying wont load it is saying “Slow down, too many requests.”

As I was reading this post I opened the devforum in another tab and got this error :fearful:

I can confirm this too.
I’m getting web page errors, HTTP 403 errors when trying to post a reply, and sometimes “Slow down, too many requests from this IP address” as well.

Edit; I was literally gonna report the bug here, but then I saw a bunch of posts about it.

This bug needs to be investigated immediately; I can no longer flag any rule violating posts because of this:

LOL When I tried to get to this topic, I got the error page. How ironic.

I confirm.

The last few days I have been getting this error while searching for information on the forum.
You have to look for information on third-party resources.

Browser - Chrome

This has been happening to me a lot recently too. The only reason I saw this topic was because I was going to make my own.

This issue is getting worse from the time I posted on this thread. I was prevented from going on the devforum after a few hours of inactivity with this error.

Also occurring on Firefox.

This doesn’t appear to be an issue with IPs at all- using a VPN briefly to test if it would allow me to check DevForum, this didn’t work.
Also not a requests issue, because I… haven’t been on DevForum since yesterday (Nov 13) before I began to get the error, nor was my computer even on?

This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Quick fix: Completely close out of your browser and reopen it.

Here my topic on it is again, It’s still an issue, and I got the IP error today, just now.

I just got this exact problem a few minutes ago, and it’s too frequent. I’ve only visited the DevForum only 2 times today and still got the “Slow down, too many requests from this IP address” error. Inspecting says the site returns a 429 Too Many Requests error.

This is now probably universal to all OSes and browsers.
We’ve seen this happening on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Affecting iOS, OSX, and Windows.

It’s safe to assume this is a universal, Roblox-side bug.

This is happening to me too, I have to wait for hours to get on dev forum. I can’t use VPN to bypass it and it blocked every device in my home network.
