Too many failed registration attempts. Try again later

Hi!

I’m trying to register a new user to my openEdx site. However, I’m receiving the following error while creating the account: “Too many registration attempts: Try again later.”

I started receiving this response from the front-end since yesterday, and it seems that, 20 hours later (the next day), I’m still in registering timeout. I’ll provide the details you request in order to help me solving the problem.

I cannot upload an image because of the restriction applied to new users.

Hi. A bit late to respond. The setting value REGISTRATION_RATELIMIT is used to determine throttle against an IP address. It uses a default value of '60/7d in common.py. You can either tweak that value using a plugin or try with VPN to change the IP.
