Title: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel? Post by: Jodmapht on May 27, 2023, 12:01:09 PM Hi,
I have been trying to open a Lightning channel with a major node for about a day, but every time I get a "Rate Limit Reached" error. What does it mean exactly? Thank you!

It could mean that you or users are sending requests in quick succession but it could be anything else depending on the client.

What wallet or software do you currently use when you get this error? I tried to search on Google with this error but it point me to OKX Api with this error here (https://www.okx.com/docs-v5/en/#overview-transaction-timeouts-websocket) Title: Re: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel?

I am able to open channels with other Lightning nodes, but not this one (ACINQ). Title: Re: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel?

It means ACINQ has imposed a rate limit, which you've exceeded. It can happen to other nodes as well, it might not be just you. Rate limiting is a mechanism usually used by big servers, as this one, to prevent abuse either due to encountering too many requests within a specific timeframe, or simply because you don't meet their channel opening policies.I'd wait for a day or two if I were you. If you do have waited, try contacting them: hello@acinq.co Title: Re: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel?

I have not opened and closed multiple channels with them though, it is a single channel I have been trying to open with them for a new node. If it is a rate limit due to a number of nodes too large trying to open channels with them, then I can understand. Title: Re: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel? Post by: DaveF on May 27, 2023, 09:27:57 PM Are you using clearnet or TOR?
I'm not entirely sure, but I have seen with certain things coming through certain TOR endpoints getting that error. Before you go nuts trying to diagnose a lightning issue, if you are on TOR, try going out through a different endpoint / recreating the circuit. Or try connecting on clearnet. Might not be the issue, but it's worth checking. -Dave - Title: Re: "Rate Limit Reached" Error When Trying to Open a Lightning Channel?

Edit: So I tried connecting to their IPv4 address after rebooting (through Tor still though since my node's firewall blocks all IPV4 services in and out), and I got the same error.
