I have started to try out 50+ strategies in parallel to test if Zerodha can be relied on for a serious trading business. Zerodha support seems to be run by AI-bots, thereby forced to raise my concerns here in Public.
I use pykiteconnect library ( KiteConnect: 3.9.0 ) to interact with Zerodha backend systems. I tried my experiment for 2-days, Yesterday It ran smoothly for around 48-strategies in parallel, but today it randomly started to throw the above bug for ~36 parallel strategies. I have no further information whatsoever on why & how of '429'. Request you to have a look at logs from my account & share the underlying problematic thing causing this error.
I am confident of having written a perfectly efficient-code that does not send unnecessary-requests for orders & historical-data. For 'quote' data, I only use Websocket-via the above pykiteconnect Library.
I need reliable systems to run my trade practice, please help me. I can't trust Zerodha systems if errors happen randomly or if there is no-one even willing to help with logs/basic-details to understand underlying issues of code written by Zerodha-Team.
I have built production apps in the past with atleast-as-much-traffic as Zerodha atleast on the Order handling front.
I can be 101% sure that it's not even remotely possible that any limits other than quote-api will even reach 10% of the limits. I just-don't understand this 'quote-api' rate-limits. I don't use Kite-APIs directly, I simply use your 'pykiteconnect library', using it only it only-as-much-as-needed. The only possible 429-reason that I can fathom is some internal-pykiteconnect code that might be structured differently & calling backend-too-often.
I cannot obviously, ask for access to internal Zerodha-code & thereby asked incase you have access to my-logs that could help resolve the issue faster.
Irrespective of number of people using these systems, if most folks are not running so-many-strategies. I would still consider the system( both the code & support ) unreliable for serious-business,, given that sorting out such a small-issue is becoming impossible even though the issue is clearly pykiteconnect-code/zerodha-backend-code/rate-limiting.
I did a detailed check on this today [ on pykiteconnect ]
I enabled kite-ticker's on_error & enabled debug in Kite-Trading-Session-Generator. There is no detailed debugging result for me to view. The only information is "'ERROR:kiteconnect.ticker:Connection error: 1006 - connection was closed uncleanly (WebSocket connection upgrade failed (429 - TooManyRequests))" which gets generated on pykiteconnect by-it's-own trying to connect to Zerodha-backend.
Let me know, how can any normal-human-being sort this issue?
Each Kite Connect app can only create only 3 Websocket connections. Maybe you are exceeding that. You can check out FAQs to know more about the rate limits.
