Get Rid of it | Error 1015 Rate Limited Cloudflare

The Error 1015: You are being rate limited from Cloudflare means your IP address or browser has made too many requests in a short time to a site protected by Cloudflare, and now you’re temporarily blocked or slowed down.

✅ What It Means

Cloudflare Error 1015 (Rate Limited) =

The website you’re visiting is using Cloudflare to limit traffic. You or your browser made too many requests in a short time (e.g. refreshing too fast, scraping, using automated tools, or a misbehaving extension).

🔧 How to Fix It (For Regular Users)

Try the following steps:

1. Wait it out (Temporary Block)

• The rate limit usually lasts a few seconds to a few minutes (sometimes longer).

• Just stop refreshing and wait 5–10 minutes.

2. Switch Networks / Restart Router

• If you’re on a dynamic IP (home internet), restarting your router may give you a new IP address, bypassing the block.

• Or, switch to mobile data or a different Wi-Fi network.

3. Disable VPN, Proxy, or Tor

• Cloudflare rate limits are more aggressive toward:

  • VPNs

  • Proxies

  • Tor browsers

• Try turning them off and reloading the page.

4. Use a Different Browser

• If a browser extension or automation script caused it, switching to a clean browser like Firefox or Chrome (incognito mode) can help.

5. Clear Your Browser’s Cookies and Cache

• In case the site is using a session cookie to track request rates:

  • Go to settings → Privacy → Clear site data (only for that site).

👨‍💻 For Developers or Site Owners

If you’re the owner of the website, this error means Cloudflare’s rate-limiting rules are kicking in — maybe too aggressively.

To fix:

• Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → Security → WAF (Web Application Firewall) → Rate Limiting Rules

• Edit or remove over-restrictive rate-limit rules

• Check logs and adjust thresholds: e.g. increase request count or window

• Whitelist certain IPs if necessary
