Purge all Cache = Too Many Requests

  • Hi,

    When I try to purge all cache via the plugin settings, I tells me all caches purged but when I look into the error logs on my server I see the following appearing multiple times over the next hours after purge:

    [Cloudflare] ERROR: [CLIENT API] Array
    (
    [type] => response
    [reason] => Too Many Requests
    [code] => 429
    )

    It looks like the API is not able to handle the requsts. We have about 50k pages in total. Any idea how to raise the API limit?

    Thanks!

    Regarding this issue, I had also sent a support request to Cloudflare and their response is as follows:

    The daily request limit is 30,000 or 600 Purge-By-URL every 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the only way to increase the limit at this moment is to upgrade to an Enterprise plan. This is because Rate limits on Cloudflare’s API serve as a basic protection mechanism to ensure that no single customer can overwhelm the API and impact the use of the API by other users.
    Solutions:

      ? Upgrade to an Enterprise Plan
      ? Setup an effective cache policy without APO

    When the WordPress plugin is installed, APO automatically caches content for 30 days and invalidates on change within 30 seconds.
    By disabling this plugin and creating a page rule with an effective edge cache TTL this might be the best way to ensure old cached content is continuously being flushed out of cache automatically without having to rely on the APO plugin.

    @loano1 Oh man, thank you so much for sharing that!
    Why does this have to be like pulling teeth!?
    Anyhow, thanks again!
