Bluesky APP Rate Limit Exceeded Error

Bluesky APP Rate Limit Exceeded Error: Users experience “Rate Limit Exceeded” error while attempting to send verification mails.

Possible Causes & Fixes:

  1. Too Many Requests in a Short Time
    • Bluesky (like Twitter/X) imposes rate limits to prevent server overload.
    • Solution: Wait a few minutes and try again. The limit usually resets after a short period (e.g., 5-15 minutes).
  2. Automated Scripts or Bots
    • If you’re using third-party apps, bots, or automation tools (e.g., feed generators, bulk posting), they may trigger rate limits.
    • Solution: Slow down requests or check if the app has a built-in delay setting.
  3. High Traffic on Bluesky’s Servers
    • During peak times, Bluesky may tighten rate limits.
    • Solution: Wait and retry later.
  4. Account-Specific Restrictions
    • New or suspicious accounts may face stricter limits.
    • Solution: Verify your account (if required) and avoid aggressive following/posting.
  5. App-Specific Issues
    • Some third-party Bluesky clients may not handle rate limits properly.
    • Solution: Try the official Bluesky app or website (bsky.app).

How to Avoid Rate Limits in the Future

  • Space out actions (e.g., posting, liking, following).
  • Use official apps where possible.
  • Check Bluesky’s status (https://bsky.app/status) for outages.

If the issue persists, you can contact Bluesky Support (@blueskyhelp.bsky.social) for assistance.
