Troubleshooting

Error message: "Too many requests"

Possible cause  

You have exceeded the usage limits on concurrent API requests. The default limit is 30 concurrent requests, but this limit may decrease when the service is experiencing heavy traffic.

Proposed action  

To reduce the impact of reaching the API rate limits, develop your app with the following in mind:

  • Extract only the data you need.
  • Reload one Watson-based application at a time.
  • Ensure that loops in your script that make API calls will not result in infinite loops.
