What happens if I exceed the number of dynamic requests included in my plan?

Q: Why do I see unusual 429 HTTP errors?

All our servers come equipped with a request limiter to limit incoming concurrent requests. If you hit this limiter you’re likely sending out too many requests from the same session ID, at the same time. We’ve implemented this to ensure a stabler platform for your Bolts to run off. A lot of concurrent requests can severely degrade your Bolts performance, leading to longer loading times. If you see this error and don’t know what to do, contact our Support at servebolt.com. They can help you find out what requests are causing this behaviour and what you can do to prevent it from happening.

Accepted Answer

At Servebolt we have a soft approach to request limits. We will not take down your site because you exceed the included pageviews. If you exceed the amount of dynamic requests included in your plan, we will get in touch and find a solution that fits your case.

We can set you up with an add-on which includes more dynamic requests for a set price per month. Other solutions could be to improve your cache hit ratio, or to add Cloudflare and setup caching at Cloudflare's edge.
