Rate Limit Exceeded - Lightship VPS Activation

Include the following details while filing a bug report (edit as applicable):

  • Issue category: Lightship Maps /VPS
  • Device type & OS version: N/A
  • Host machine & OS version: Windows 10
  • Issue Environment : Dev Portal
  • Xcode version:
  • ARDK version:
  • Unity version:

Bug reproduction steps:

  1. Open Lightship.dev
  2. Open Geospatial Browsing
  3. Waypoint being attempted to activate VPS: Niantic Lightship
  4. Attempt to activate VPS on the above waypoint, repeatedly until successful.
  5. If successful, attempt to reactivate another waypoint if “ERROR Unable to request a VPS Activation” continuously until ERROR: Rate limit exceeded

Does this mean I have spammed the servers too much or that I have to wait to activate VPS on another waypoint? Before attempting to activate VPS on the above waypoint, I was successfully able to submit a different waypoint nearby.

Hello Silas,

Thanks for reaching out.

There is a global daily rate limit and once the limit is reached, activations won’t go through anymore. We’re still able to assist with a manual activation on our end, can you please provide a short description of the project you’re working on and a link to the Wayspot that you’re attempting to activate?
