25021: Rate limit exceeded


ERROR: 25021

error-25021 page anchor
ERROR

Twilio rejected the request because your application exceeded the allowed request rate for the Organization API. Reduce the request volume before retrying.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your application sent too many Organization API requests in a short period.
  • Multiple services or workers are using the same credentials and collectively exceeded the rate limit.
  • A retry loop, polling pattern, or burst of concurrent requests caused a sudden spike in traffic.
  • Your application does not use backoff when it receives a rate limit response.
  • Reduce how frequently your application calls the Organization API.
  • Add exponential backoff and retry logic so your application waits before sending another request after a rate limit response.
  • Smooth out traffic bursts by queueing or staggering requests instead of sending many requests at once.
  • Review your application logs for unexpected loops, duplicate jobs, or parallel workers that may be generating excess traffic.
  • If the request volume is expected for your use case, contact Support to discuss your current limits and options.
