✅ What to do if the VK request limit is exceeded

The request limit in VK music on iPhone has been exceeded - what to do?

The developers of the social network VKontakte have been tightening the screws for a long time and introducing more and more paid functions, especially for owners of the mobile version of the network. It's no secret that you can now listen to background music in the app for hours at a time, or buy a subscription for 149 rubles. Recently, iPhone owners in the music section of VK receive the error “The request limit has been exceeded,” and audio recordings are not displayed at all. We will tell you what caused the bug and what needs to be done.

Error: request limit exceeded in VK on iPhone

If you logged in from a smartphone or tablet

When the message “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded” appears on the screen of your tablet or smartphone, try this:

Log into your account to restore access from another smartphone or other device.
Try restoring access from a mobile browser or the official social network application.
A smartphone or tablet can also defeat viruses and malware. Download the antivirus application, clean your phone of threats, and then return to trying to recover your password.
If you are recovering your passcode from your device's browser, switch from the mobile to the full version of the page and try again.
If all methods are unsuccessful, contact technical support using the “Help” link.

Thus, as practice shows, the warning “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded” is more typical for devices such as smartphones and tablets. In particular, when trying to restore access through the application or mobile browser version of the site. The problem in most cases is solved by accessing your page through another device or by recovering your password on the full version of the resource.

You have lost the password for your VKontakte, Facebook or other social network page, or you decided to log into your own account from another device and cannot remember these treasured numbers. Logically click on the link “Forgot your password?” and try to restore it through the associated phone number or email address. During the last manipulation, a message pops up in front of you: “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded.” After this, your attempts to recover your password are in vain - only this unfortunate warning appears before your eyes. What to do in this case?

What to do with an error in audio recordings in VK?

This limitation when launching music is caused by an outdated version of the VK application on your iPhone. At the beginning of January 2021, update 3.1 was released, which you definitely need to install. By the way, here it is - https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/vk-app.

Developers are trying to force users to quickly switch to new versions by disabling “vital” functions. This is probably due to the fact that when music was limited in November, those who remained on the old version could bypass the blocking for some time. The situation is different with the owners of VK on Android - who did not receive such an error. This may be due to the fact that this shell is a little more difficult to control due to issues of openness and product licensing.

Update the version of VK to the current one and the “Request limit has been exceeded” error in music will be corrected. The previous restrictions on listening in the background will remain.

Many people complain that the error remains even in the updated version, or occurs in the case of a trial music subscription. I advise you to definitely update the iOS version to the latest one and reinstall VK itself. If it doesn’t help, contact VK support. You can ask a new question to technical support here - vk.com/support_new_question. By the way, the “New question” option was active for me, but some people may receive a notification “Unfortunately, you have reached the limit of questions for the near future.” As for me, this is another restriction option - like “Go, dear user, to the Knowledge Base!”

How to change your restrictions

After reading the information about the established daily limits for money transfers, you are probably wondering whether it is possible to expand the possibilities when transferring funds online? We suggest using the following methods.

What to do if limits are exceeded

But what should you do if you need to send money urgently, but you have already exceeded the limit for transfers using Sberbank Online and you do not receive an SMS confirmation?

In this case you need:

call 8-800-555-55-50 (official phone number of Sberbank);
follow the robot's instructions to connect with the operator responsible for confirming transactions;
inform the operator of your intention to make a transfer if the limit is exceeded, give the transaction code;
confirm your identity (for example, using the code word specified in the agreement for opening a credit card, passport data or card number).

Afterwards, the operation will be manually approved by the operator, and your transaction will go through.

You should not try to send money if the limit is exceeded - it will be debited from your account, but when sent to the recipient, it will be “frozen”, i.e. the other party will not receive them. You will return the “frozen” funds only after 30 days, or you may even have to use a chargeback. In addition, you will lose commissions permanently.

How to increase the number of operations

It is necessary that even lower limits than usual may be set in Sberbank Online. This is done for additional protection. And if you need to increase the Sberbank Online transfer limit, then you need to:

log into your personal remote account of the system;
Click on the gear sign in the top right corner to go to Settings;
select “Spending limits”;
find the “Daily expense limit” column, next to which either a numerical value will be set or “Not set” will be written (in this case, the default limit is set to 80 thousand rubles);
click on the number or the inscription “Not installed” and indicate your value (maximum – 500,000);
if you have reduced the limit, then indicate the code from SMS; if you have increased it, call the contact center.

Please note that this operation increases the limit on transactions that can be confirmed via SMS. So, if you set the value to 300 thousand rubles, you will be able to transfer up to 300 thousand rubles per day without calling the contact center. The remaining limits will remain the same.

Unofficial VK clients

Users of unofficial versions of VK, such as Tsarsky VK, received the same notification. In this case, you just need to wait - the program developers must resolve this issue of synchronization with servers. You will be required to update such an application soon, but the developers will most likely warn you about this.

Many people see a solution in launching special applications for caching played audio recordings. Until recently, the Meloman program for iPhone did an excellent job with this, but this freebie was closed down. Currently, you can save to cache using the Audio Player application. How long it will last, I don't know. Someone simply goes back in time and downloads music from the network and transfers it via iTunes from PC to iPhone.

In the case of the popular Kate Mobile for Android, there was also a loss of functionality - starting from version 40.1, the music caching option was closed. This function, in fact, partially replaced the background restriction, but copyright holders got to it.

Music caching has been disabled in Kate Mobile since version 44.1

By the way, Kate Mobile has an additional error: “The music license could not be verified.” This situation can be resolved by updating Google Play Services and restarting the account.

Control

To minimize the frequency of the RateExceededError error, you need to control the number of requests and the speed at which they are sent on the client side.

limiting parallel threads;
grouping requests;
using the BatchJobService;
speed limiters;
distribution of requests between several accounts;
message queues;
setting different restrictions for new and existing accounts.

Limiting parallel threads

A common cause of the RateExceededError is that there are too many threads calling the AdWords API in succession. Although we do not limit the number of sequential threads for client applications, this could easily result in exceeding the number of requests per second at the developer ID level.

Therefore, we recommend setting a limit on the total number of sequential threads (across all processes and systems) that will submit requests, and then gradually increasing it. This will allow you to achieve optimal performance without going overboard.

Also, try adjusting the number of requests per second across all threads (see section).

Grouping requests

If possible, try to combine multiple requests into one package. This is especially true for mutate() calls. For example, if you need to update the status of multiple AdGroupAd objects, instead of calling mutate() on each AdGroupAd object individually, you can call mutate() just once and pass multiple AdGroupAdOperations to it at once. In the section you will find other examples of query batching and .

When combining multiple operations into a single query, it is important to remember that most queries are indivisible: if one operation fails, the entire query will fail (that is, no changes will be made at all). However, you can change this model using .

Finally, while batching your requests helps you avoid exceeding your RPM limit, it can also cause you to exceed your RPM limit if they are performed on a single account.

Using the BatchJobService

If jobs take a long time to complete or you need to perform a large number of operations, including using different services, try using the BatchJobService. It can perform thousands of operations asynchronously using Google cloud storage. All you have to do is receive information about the results of completing tasks.

Baud rate limiters

Not only can you set a limit on the number of threads in the client application, but you can also implement client-side rate limiters. This allows you to set the maximum number of requests per second for all threads in all your processes or clusters.

Message Queues

Message queues are the best technology available today for distributing information processing. There are many ready-made solutions on the market (including open source), and some of them support multiple languages.

When using message queues, multiple producers can add messages to the queue and multiple consumers can receive these messages at once. In this case, the consumer can set a limit on the number of consecutive consumers and set speed limits for producers or consumers.

For example, if a message consumer receives a RateExceededError error, it can return the request back to the queue and try again later. At the same time, it can notify all other consumers to pause processing for a specified number of seconds to allow the system to recover from the error.

Setting different restrictions for new and existing accounts

If you use message queues or rate limiters, be aware that new AdWords accounts may be subject to much stricter limits (meaning lower requests per second) than existing ones. Thus, if your company has a lot of old accounts and you are constantly creating new ones, you should use different restrictions for both.

This means you won't have to adhere to the strictest new account restrictions across all of your accounts.

Typically, the limit for new AdWords accounts increases as soon as your ads start running.

Updated September 24, 2018

Transfers and payments online are very convenient as they save a lot of time. However, attackers, having gained access to a client’s personal account, can transfer all the money to their accounts without a twinge of conscience. To avoid this, a daily limit on transferring money to Sberbank Online has been introduced. Even if fraudsters get hold of confidential information, they will not be able to steal all the funds at once; a signal that the number of permissible transactions has been exceeded will be transmitted to the bank.

The limit on the number of requests per day in VK has been exceeded - what to do with the error

If you lose your VK password, you can always get it back through recovery by entering your phone number. But the error “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded” may not allow you to do this. It may appear even when you first try to enter the number, which is very surprising. If you do not have an email account through which, in principle, you can solve this problem, then this article will help you.

Reason for restriction

It is known for sure that the limit was exceeded due to a large number of requests. Perhaps hackers or ill-wishers have already tried to obtain data by hacking your page. Also, you shouldn’t deny a system error on VK servers - it’s rare, but it still happens.

Error “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded” in VK

Current restrictions on money transfers

The presence of limits can be an unpleasant surprise for the user if he decides to withdraw or transfer a large amount of money to another account. For example, if he needed to make an advance payment for a car or an apartment in cash, he may have to do this in several stages when the possibilities are exhausted. Therefore, it would be a good idea to clarify the daily transfer limit through Sberbank Online, so as not to encounter an unpleasant situation when the required amount of money does not reach the recipient’s account due to the fact that the number of attempts has been exceeded.

How much cash can you withdraw from different cards?

One of the most popular operations is cash withdrawal. It is about the limits on this operation that Sberbank clients most often want to know. The restrictions depend on the class of the card you have; the higher it is, the greater the limits:

100,000 rubles – Electron, Maestro class cards and all instant issuance cards, as well as student and social cards;
200,000 rubles – classic and standard cards;
300,000 rubles – Gold, Platinum, Premier cards and Infinite class cards.

For corporate cards, the cash withdrawal limit is set by the employer, and the limits cannot be higher than bank maximums. Please note that these amounts are for debit cards.

When withdrawing cash from credit cards, the same limits apply, but the bank takes a commission depending on your tariff plan, so you will receive a smaller amount in your hands.

For example, you wanted to withdraw 50 thousand rubles, while the commission was 3.5%. Therefore, you will be able to withdraw only 48,250 rubles. The ATM will do the calculations and write the result.

It is necessary to assume that there is not only a daily limit established in Sberbank, but also restrictions in the ATM itself.

Transfers to yourself, other users and organizations

Depending on the method of transferring money, the following limits are established (transfers mean any transactions - to yourself, to other clients, to organizations):

through an ATM (by card or cash) – no more than 300 thousand rubles;
using mobile banking – 8 thousand rubles;
to Sberbank Online, the daily transfer limit should not exceed 500 thousand rubles, depending on the purpose of the payment and the method of confirmation.

Thus, any transactions made online require confirmation from the client that it is he who is making the payment. Today there are three ways of additional identification:

Using one-time passwords from a check. This list (of 20 alphanumeric combinations) is taken from an ATM. This is considered to be the minimum level of security, as such passwords can easily be compromised. Limit – 3 thousand rubles per day.

Using mobile banking. This is the most common method of confirming payments. The client receives an SMS with a 5-digit number, which must be entered into a special box to confirm his operation. The limit before exceeding is 80 thousand rubles per day.

By calling the call center. If you need to make a payment for a larger amount, you must contact the operator and confirm that it is you who is transferring money. Usually they ask for the code word specified when receiving the card from Sberbank.

The above limits apply to payments and transfers:

between your accounts (for example, from card to deposit and back);
to the personal account of a broker or management company;
to a Sberbank client (the transfer can be made both by card number and by phone number - it does not matter for limits);
organizations (i.e. classic payments - for example, for rent or food for a child in kindergarten).

Please note that daily limits are formed on an accrual basis. For example, if you made a transfer of 60 thousand rubles and confirmed it via SMS, then on the same day you will be able to transfer or spend another 30 thousand rubles without additional confirmation. Everything else is exceeding the norm.

Number of financial transactions per day

There are also other transfer limits per day in Sberbank Online:

from open deposits on a social card - up to 1 million rubles for a maximum of 2 transactions (each maximum 500 thousand rubles);
currency conversion - no more than 100 transactions, with a minimum transaction of 25 rubles, no upper limit for transfers has been established;
transfer to a client of another bank - 10 thousand rubles for cards of the MasterCard payment system, standard limits (up to 500 thousand rubles) - for Visa and Mir cards.

Before performing any operation, the system will warn you how much more money you can transfer during these days without additional confirmation.

Top up your phone and e-wallets

A limit has been set for transferring money through Sberbank Online when paying for a cell phone and sending money to replenish the balance of electronic wallets. They are significantly smaller, since such transfers are anonymous, and if access to the online account is abused, it will be quite difficult to identify the recipient.

The following restrictions currently apply:

to pay for mobile communications - does not exceed 10 thousand rubles per day per MTS, Beeline, Megafon and Tele2 number;
to electronic wallets Yandex.Money and Webmoney – 10 thousand rubles per day.

The limit for replenishing your balance also accumulates, this must be taken into account. For example, it will not be possible to top up your Yandex wallet first with 7 thousand rubles, and then with another 7 thousand. Maximum per day – 10 thousand.

When using a mobile bank, the daily limits are even greater than the limit for transferring money through Sberbank Online:

replenishing your phone is permissible without exceeding 3 thousand rubles, the maximum replenishment operations per day is 10 pieces;
replenishing someone else’s Sberbank client number – 1.5 thousand rubles, maximum replenishment operations – 10 pieces.

This is done not so much to protect against attackers, but to prevent transferring a large sum of money to your mobile account by mistake.

What to do if the VK request limit is exceeded

When working with this social network, even non-novice users often have questions about what restrictions there are on the number of similar actions performed per day. “VKontakte” gives clear answers to some actions, informing that such and such requests can be completed no more than n number per day. For other actions, we cannot get a clear answer from the server and we can only guess why we were denied the command.

Let's try in this article to collect all the information on VKontakte limits, noting separately what we know absolutely exactly, what and what part of the information was obtained based on the work experience of our readers.

If you logged in from a smartphone or tablet

When the message “The limit on the number of requests per day has been exceeded” appears on the screen of your tablet or smartphone, try this:

Log into your account to restore access from another smartphone or other device.
Try restoring access from a mobile browser or the official social network application.
A smartphone or tablet can also defeat viruses and malware. Download the antivirus application, clean your phone of threats, and then return to trying to recover your password.
If you are recovering your passcode from your device's browser, switch from the mobile to the full version of the page and try again.
If all methods are unsuccessful, contact technical support using the “Help” link.

Password recovery without a SIM card

The most difficult case is the absence of a SIM card with a number that was saved in autorun when registering on the FriendVokrug network. The application generates a password independently, it is sent to the user via SMS and saved. If you lose your phone with a SIM card, it is no longer possible to recover the password, because... it is forwarded only to the old number. There is no link to the mailbox. In this case, you can contact your mobile operator and restore the SIM card with the same number or create a new account in FriendVokrug.
