Getting 429 Too Many Requests on api cache clear calls

Developers API
1

We are using the api to purge certain urls but we are getting more and more 429 errors.

I understand that there are rate limits but is there any way to debug where these are coming from as in my own logs I don’t see a crazy amount.

Are the rate limits shared over the whole account or per domain?

EDIT: I tried it with CURL from my local machine and it cleared fine.
I then tried CURL from the server with the site on and it failed with the code 10104 Max auth failures

From reading another thread it looks like I’ve been rate limited on that server - how do I go about changing that please?

I’m getting this on another server as well and I’m getting a Cloudflare Captcha when doing http posts on the website

Hi @petetak, good detail, thank you. Do you have a ticket with support? The issue is being investigated and I’ll post back when I see movement.

Hi,

No - but the guy on the other thread has got a ticket and has logged this info so I’ll just wait here…
thanks
Pete
