I have changed my password three times, changed devices, snooped around the internet on how to fix it but nothing seems to work, ive tried the services provided by microsoft and it still did not work, I was trying to sign in my microsoft account for a game but i couldnt log in then it went downhill from there each time i try and log in to that account i keep getting a "too many requests" text on my browser, ive tried checking if its the same on other sites with that account but no, it only shows the text in microsoft. Please tell me how to fix this

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues logging in to your Minecraft / Microsoft account due to "Too Many Request" issue.

This error means the client (your browser or application) has sent too many requests to the server within a short period. This happens when a server is rate-limiting requests to prevent overload and maintain performance.

Some of the workarounds for this error is to completely restart your device to disconnect existing connections from the server.

If you're on a Windows 11 device, press Start > Power > Restart.

Another way that works for most users is by using a different browser and different internet connection such as mobile hotspot.

To ensure that your router is not experiencing any issues or bugs that may cause some websites or ports to be inaccessible, please do a power cycle by turning off the device, pulling it out of the power outlet for 50 seconds before turning it back on.

Once it boots up and regains internet access, please try to log back in.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Alvaro

I see, okay that's great. Let me know!

That’s great to hear! Okay, update me the result once you’re done testing it.

Thanks for letting me know, Pixel!

No worries! If you did not see any unusual activity then no one else had an access to your account. And it's great that you added extra security.

Can you try if it will work using your password while in Edge or Chrome? Try also Incognito/InPrivate mode. Go to Xbox.com and sign in there. You can also check if signing in on other devices are affected. Like if you are doing this in PC, try to do it in your mobile browser.
