attempt_limit

HTTP status: 429 Too Many Requests. Retrying the same request can succeed.

Why it happens

• A link holds at most 50 open payments at once: each one reserves a deposit address until it closes.
• One address can start at most 20 payments an hour across all links.

What to do

Wait for the Retry-After header's seconds, or finish a payment already started on the page.

Example

The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
