This error occurs when you've made too many requests to Ahrefs' servers in a short period of time. It typically happens if you're running multiple tools or processes simultaneously, or if you're refreshing data too frequently.
To resolve it, try the following steps:
- Pause your requests: Give it some time and avoid making more requests for a few minutes.
- Check your account limits: If you're hitting your plan's API or request limits, upgrading your plan might help.
- Slow down automation: If you're using scripts or automated tools to pull data from Ahrefs, reduce the frequency or batch size of those requests.
If the issue persists despite these steps, contacting Ahrefs support is a good next step. They can help clarify if the rate limit is part of your plan or if there’s another issue.
