Cloudflare Error 1015 means you have been temporarily banned from a website because you (or your internet connection) sent too many requests in a short period of time.

This is an automated security measure to stop bots and attacks.

Here is how to fix it

1. The Fastest Fix: “Change Your Identity”

The ban is tied to your IP Address. If you change your IP, you will likely get back in immediately.

• Turn off your VPN: If you are using one, disconnect. The server likely banned the VPN’s shared IP, not you specifically.

• Switch Networks: If you are on Wi-Fi, turn it off and use your phone’s Mobile Data (or vice versa). This gives you a fresh IP address.

• Restart Router: If you are at home, unplug your router for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This often forces your ISP to assign you a new dynamic IP.

2. The “Wait It Out” Method

If you can’t change your connection, you just have to wait.

• Duration: These bans are almost always temporary. They typically last 15 minutes to 1 hour.

• Important: Stop refreshing the page. Every time you refresh to “check if it works,” you reset the timer and extend the ban. Walk away for 20 minutes.

3. Why did this happen?

• Rapid Refreshing: Did you spam F5 to check for a ticket drop, stock update, or game server? That is the #1 cause.

• Bad Extensions: You might have a browser extension (like an auto-refresher or coupon finder) running in the background that is hitting the site hundreds of times without you knowing. Try opening the site in Incognito Mode to see if it works there.

• Shared Wi-Fi: If you are at a school, office, or coffee shop, someone else on the network might be spamming the site, and the whole building got banned.

Summary:

Switch to Mobile Data on your phone to access the site immediately. If you must use your computer, close the tab and wait 20 minutes before trying again.
