Why does Minecraft Realms keep saying 429?
Error Code 429 comes with no message, but it means, Request Limit Reached, which, needless to say, is a server issue. It occurs when your system sends a ton of requests to the Minecraft server, which, according to their security policy classify your request as DDoS attacks. You may not send all these requests manually, but it can be an error from your side that’s causing sending of the requests.
