Claude Code — official Claude error message, quoted verbatim.
“API Error: Request rejected (429) · this may be a temporary capacity issue. If it persists, check https://status.claude.com.”
You've hit the rate limit configured for your API key, Amazon Bedrock project, or Google Cloud project — a provider/gateway-side rate limit, not the account usage limit this site tracks.
Run /status and confirm the active credential is the one you expect — a stray ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment can route requests through a low-tier key instead of your subscription.
Check your provider console for the active limits and request a higher tier if needed.
For Anthropic API keys, see the rate limits reference for how tiers work and how to set per-workspace caps.
Reduce concurrency: lower CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_TOOL_USE_CONCURRENCY, avoid running many parallel subagents, or switch to a smaller model with /model for high-volume scripted runs.

People look this message up in many ways. These are search wordings, not Anthropic's text:
api error: rate limit reached
api error: rate limit reached claude code
claude code api error: rate limit reached
claude api error rate limit reached
claude rate limit error
claude code 429 error
“API Error: Rate limit reached” is one of them. The only place we found Anthropic using that exact wording is the Claude Code hooks reference, whose example failure payload pairs “API Error: Rate limit reached” with “429 Too Many Requests”. Anthropic's docs give no separate explanation or fix for that wording, so this page — the 429 message Claude Code's error reference documents — is the closest official match. We can't confirm from the docs that the two strings are always the same message.
