Error 1015 Rate Limited

I have been getting Rate limited all day yesterday and today during development. This is getting really irritating to have to sit and wait for 5 minutes multiple times throughout the day.

Why is this happening and how to I fix it? I’m in the version-test not even the live one!

According to a google search it can because by too many api calls but I’m editing an html block not even looking at the database.

Commenting to follow response.

I think it was the favicon icon image being too large.

The issue for me was that I have a few redirects that took place quick. Page 1 bounced to page 2, page 2 bounced to page 3. If this happened, CloudFlare would block it and pause you. Probably in defence of some form of attack. I removed the re-directs and all worked well.
