How to remove Cloudflare's anti-abuse workers rate limiting rules

What is the name of the domain?

What is the error number?

1015

What is the error message?

Error 1015 you are being rate limited

What is the issue you’re encountering

We have an approved third party crawling the site intensively which triggers Cloudlfare workers, as expected. However the volume is causing rate limits to be exceeded. As the traffic and crawling is expected, I need to remove the rate limits so the crawling can complete

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

  • upgraded to paid workers
  • had to remove the workers so the site becomes accessible again

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Re-implement the workers which will then trigger the limits being exceeded, which results in a 1015 for most users.

Hi there!

I’ve removed the anti-abuse rate limit for workers in the active my1styears.com zone.
