Discord bot can't log in: Cloudflare error 1015 (429) blocking the node's IP on discord.com
Posted by marcoficial in discord-bots.
Hi! My Discord bot (discord.py 2.7.1, Python 3.11 egg) has been unable to start since about 20:28 UTC today (2026 09 18). It crashes right at login with a Cloudflare "Error 1015 – You are being rate limited" page returned by discord.com, so the request to Discord's API is blocked before the bot even connects. What I see The failing call is (discord.py ), which returns HTTP 429 with the Cloudflare HTML page (not a normal Discord JSON rate limit). The Cloudflare page says the owner of discord.com "has banned you temporarily from accessing this website". Exit code 1, Out of memory: false. The IP shown on the Cloudflare page is . Ray IDs (all 2026 09 18 UTC): (20:28), (20:31), (20:43), (20:48). Log excerpt What I've tried The token is correct and the bot was running fine earlier today (it was connected to 46 servers). I've stopped restarting it in a loop to avoid making the block last longer. Question Is the node's shared IP ( ) currently blocked by Cloudflare/Discord? Could a staff member check it, or move my server to another node/IP? If anyone else is seeing the same 1015 error from discord.com, please let me know. Thanks!
