How to fix the “Too many requests in 1 hour try again later” ChatGPT error?
The error message “Too many requests in 1 hour, please try again later” usually indicates that you sent too many requests to a server in a single hour. This error is frequently encountered when using APIs such as ChatGPT or OpenAI. You can try the following solutions to resolve this issue:
- Refresh the page
- Wait for an hour
- Try easier prompts
- Use a VPN
- Use ChatGPT in Incognito
- Try a second OpenAI account
- Clear your browser’s cache
- Use a different OpenAI API
- Avoid using ChatGPT during active hours
- Subscribe to ChatGPT Plus
- Check the ChatGPT server status
- Use a ChatGPT alternative
Refresh the page
Let’s start with some of the easier ones. Reloading the page from the server rather than the cache will require you to refresh the browser, so make that happen first. As a result, the browser sends a fresh request to the server for the page. As a result, it is possible that refreshing your browser will allow you to use ChatGPT.
Wait 1 Hour
When an OpenAI user submits more queries in one hour than is permitted, the Too Many Requests Error is generated. Waiting the specified amount of time is a simple solution to the problem.

Use ChatGPT in Incognito
If you continue to receive the notification “Too many requests in 1 hour, try again later,” you might want to try using it in incognito mode.
Use a VPN
“Too many requests in 1 hour try again later” ChatGPT error’s reason can be your IP address. OpenAI could blacklist it. It is quite simple to create a virtual private network and conceal your IP address when you use OpenAI ChatGPT from a device that runs Android or iOS.
If you want to use OpenAI ChatGPT on a Mac or Windows computer, you will need to enable the virtual private network that is already built into the system. If it doesn’t work, you might want to try downloading an app that connects to a virtual private network instead.
