Hi there Mic V.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues signing into your Xbox account.

The error message you're seeing, "this application made too many requests," indicates that the application (in this case, likely the Xbox or a specific app on the Xbox) has exceeded the number of requests it is allowed to make to the server within a certain period. This is usually a rate-limiting issue.

Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

Wait and Retry: Sometimes, this issue resolves itself after a while. Wait for some time (usually around 15-30 minutes) and try to sign in again.

Clearing the cache on your Xbox can help resolve various issues:

Press and hold the power button on the front of the Xbox until it turns off.
Unplug the power cable from the back of the Xbox.
Wait for about 10 seconds.
Plug the power cable back in and turn on the Xbox.

Try signing into your Xbox account on a different device, such as a computer or mobile phone. This can help verify if the issue is specific to your Xbox or your account.

Ensure that your Xbox and any related apps are up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve this issue.

There might be a network issue causing this problem. Here's what you can do:

Test your network connection. Go to Settings > General > Network settings > Test network connection.
Restart your router or modem. Unplug it from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.
Try connecting your Xbox to the internet using a wired connection (Ethernet cable) instead of Wi-Fi to see if that resolves the issue.

Factory Reset (with Keeping Games & Apps - partial reset): As a last resort, you can perform a factory reset that keeps your games and apps. This can help resolve persistent issues:

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info > Reset console.
Select Reset and keep my games & apps. This option resets the OS and deletes all potentially corrupted data without affecting your games and apps.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

Im logging in fine. Its when i go to start service online its jumping for a while and then saying Something went wrong and we can't sign you in at the moment. Please try again later.

The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again.

Hi alfamed99,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues logging in to your Microsoft account. To make sure that I can provide accurate information, are you logging in from a console?

If you're logging in to your Microsoft account through a web browser, please close all your browser and try logging in again. This usually happens when there are multiple connection requests for Microsoft.

In addition, you may try to use a different browser such as Microsoft Edge.

Regards,

Alvaro

Thanks for the reply, just to clarify I didn’t loose access I just gave my Xbox away and now want to try and get back into the account. The exact message it says when I try to log in now is, Sign-in with (my dads email) is blocked for one of these reasons:

Someone entered the wrong password too many times.

If you signed up for this account through an organisation, you might not be able to use it yet.

Although I don’t remember trying to log back into the account since now where I didn’t try until I got this info and the account was made with Xbox not another organisation.

I don’t know if there is anything more I could do but any thing would help.

Question: Have any of you being getting this 'lockout' thing when logging into this website? It says that an incorrect password has been used too many times or something

After the PSN thing I changed all my passwords but I'm just wondering if the above is related to someone trying to log in with my gamertag or if its something else
