Common Errors


Error 429 (Too Many Requests) - Soft Ban on Whapi

This error indicates that your WhatsApp number has been temporarily restricted (soft ban) due to unusual activity. You may still be able to use your account partially—such as reading or replying to messages—but you might not be able to send new messages or create groups, among other limitations.

To resolve this, follow these steps:

1. **Let the number rest for 24-48 hours.** Stop sending messages or performing the activity you were doing before (such as creating groups).

2. **Reinstall the WhatsApp app and switch accounts.** If you're using WhatsApp Business, log in with the regular WhatsApp app (and vice versa).

3. **Contact WhatsApp support through the app.** Go to *Settings → Help → Contact Us* and request to have your account unblocked, explaining that you haven't violated any rules.

This block is not permanent, but continued excessive use could lead to a permanent ban.
