Why do I get "maximum allowed order request exceeded" error even though I haven't placed 3000 orders on Kite Connect API?

You see this error because the maximum order request limit counts both successful orders and blocked invalid requests. Invalid orders don't appear in your order book but still count towards your API request limit.

Kite Connect API counts all order requests, including:

  • Orders you successfully place
  • Orders blocked due to invalid requests

Invalid order requests occur due to inaccuracies in your code. You should recheck your code to avoid this error.

For technical queries, please post them on kite.trade/forum/discussions.
