Errors

Too many remote uploads

Remote URL import hit the per-user hourly rate limit — wait or raise the Mods rate.

Too many remote uploads

POST /api/upload/from-url returned a rate limit: too many remote imports for this user/IP in the current window (default about 300/hour).

Why this happens

App (and often nginx) throttle remote leech requests. Pasting huge URL lists or automation burns the hourly budget. Member API remote URL may use a slightly different “remote URL upload requests” message and its own bucket.

Diagnose and fix

1. Member: wait and retry later; split large URL lists across time.

2. Admin → Settings → Modsupload_source_remote_url_rate_per_hour (see Remote URL rate limit).

3. Regenerate/reload nginx upload rate snippets if you use them after changing Mods rates.

4. Confirm they are not blocked by plan (Block remote URL upload) — that is a different message.
