You have exceeded the rate limit for adding or deleting zones. Please try again in 1 hour

Dear All,

I import 500 domains to Cloudflare by api , but it always print that “You have exceeded the rate limit for adding or deleting zones. Please try again in 1 hour”.

How could i do for this ? thanks for your assistant .

Best Wishes…

Did you wait that one hour?

I have waited one more hour, but just could add 8 domains into it. I have extra 300 domains need to be import .

Just slow down and eventually you will be able to import all.

Do you mean that I have to wait more time , bros ?

Thats what slow down typically means :wink:

Slow down the import rate for every domain , right ? Maybe sleep 5 or 10 sec for next .

Not seconds, better minutes or more.

OK, I will try. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your handsome.

:wave: @gongsunsheng999,

There is also a limit on the number of pending zones to prevent potential abuse/fraud. If you are an Enterprise customer your account team may be able to override this limitation, otherwise you should update the nameservers for your pending zones and once validated you should be able to add more.

Thank you , sir. Got it.

In addition , How about the Pro or Business version ?

The same limits are likely to apply. You should really take your time. Such mass imports are likely to run into a rate limiting. Import that batch wise and make sure each batch has been successfully configured before continuing with the next.

OK, maybe I need slow down. Thank you , bro.
