Bluesky APP Rate Limit Exceeded Error: Users experience “Rate Limit Exceeded” error while attempting to send verification mails.
Possible Causes & Fixes:
- 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).
- 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.
- High Traffic on Bluesky’s Servers
- During peak times, Bluesky may tighten rate limits.
- Solution: Wait and retry later.
- Account-Specific Restrictions
- New or suspicious accounts may face stricter limits.
- Solution: Verify your account (if required) and avoid aggressive following/posting.
- 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.
