Adding shared environment variables -> 404 -> Sign In -> Error 1015 (Rate Limited) | Railway | Page 1

I was in the middle of adding a shared environment variable and the screen started showing a 404 error screen. I then returned to the dashboard, clicked "Continue with Github", and now see Error 1015 You are being rate limited. I gave it ~1 hr and still seeing the error. Is there a way to determine why I'm being rate limited?

Update: I tried again and access has been restored

#

I'd love to know what happened to cause the Railway dashboard to be inaccessible for an hour

#

Update: I updated one more shared environment variable and am now rate limited again.

Sure. See below:

Go to Railway Project Settings (from railway.com/dashboard)
Click Shared Variables
Add a new Shared Variable
(rate limiting is triggered here)
Screen switches to 404
Click "Go Home" button
Log in with Github
Redirected to rate limited page

question, how many envs do you have? includeing any pr envs if you have them too?

spring hare Feb 3, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

Currently around 50

#

Our monthly Dependabot PRs just were created 😢

#

looks like we make 2x requests for every environment you have when setting that variable, and the cloudflare limit is 50 rps, so that explains that

spring hare Feb 3, 2025, 10:58 PM

#

Oh, wow, that makes sense!

#

So the fix is to remove the Dependabot PR envs (deleting or merging the PR), and then try again, yeah?

#

how many non Dependabot prs do you have?

spring hare Feb 3, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

8

abstract torrent Feb 3, 2025, 11:10 PM

#

okay then you should be safe setting shared variables with only 8 envs

#

i've now tickleted this issue!

Thank you!

#

so update here, half of the issue has been fixed, adding a variable will not spam call the api, but opening the shared variables tab will still one time spam the api, but i have also ticketed that

Wow. Thank you. I'm amazed by the quick turnaround and commitment to continuous improvement. 🥇
