AG8001 + rate limit error on every call after daily re-login


  • Hi Team,

    I'm running an automated bot via SmartAPI (Python SDK) that calls
    getCandleData once every 15 minutes, only during market hours
    (9:15 AM - 3:30 PM IST).

    Every day, the first call after market open fails with AG8001
    "Invalid Token" (session expired overnight - expected). My code
    automatically re-logs in right after.

    However, after that re-login, EVERY subsequent call for the rest
    of the day fails with:
    "Access denied because of exceeding access rate"

    This happens even though I'm only making 1 request every 15
    minutes - well under your documented limits (3/sec, 180/min).
    It resets by the next morning, then repeats the same pattern.

    Details:

    • API Key: [8Gqbz7Ah]
    • Client ID: [P139808]
    • Server IP: 35.244.60.38
    • Error first appears: ~9:15 AM IST daily, after re-login
    • Example timestamp: Oct 01 2026, 03:53:56 UTC (login),
      04:24:02 UTC (first rate-limit error)

    Could you check if my IP or API key is flagged/throttled at the
    gateway level? This is blocking my dry-run testing.
