What it means

What happened

Your account sent too many attn notifications in a short time.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • A script or agent may be retrying in a tight loop.
  • Several jobs may be sharing the same API key or account.
  • A dashboard button may have been clicked repeatedly while the request was still running.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Wait a minute and retry.
  2. Add backoff and jitter to scripts or agents that call /api/v1/notify.
  3. Use dedup_key for safe retries so repeated attempts do not create extra notifications.
