# Error 429 Too Many Requests

Protection has been added to the websites hosted at Zone to limit the number of queries to `wp-login.php` and `xmlrpc.php` scripts. The purpose of the restriction is to protect the website from bots that try to guess passwords and cause excessive load on the server.

Using the default setting, the `wp-login.php` and `xmlrpc.php` scripts are allowed to make 6 requests per **IP** per minute. All subsequent requests per minute will receive a response from the server `Error 429: Too Many Requests`.

If you wish, you can remove this setting from your server.

In order to remove the settings lo into My Zone control panel and in Webhosting management under `Webserver` -> `Main domain settings` -> `modify` -> `Apache directives` ->in the `add directive block` window add following `directive block`:

```
<IfModule mod_security2.c>
  SecRuleRemoveById 70005 70003
</IfModule>

```

 The 429 error code may not always come from a server-side limitation. An application, such as a security plug-in, may also return a response with this code.
