This happens when you are exceeding the maximum allowed limit for WebSocket connection. you may check out the similar discussion here.

Thanks a lot for your prompt responses. Pls ignore my little knowledge, I am not able to figure out which of teh specified limits is getting exceeded. If it is web-socket connection, i dont see any specified limit on that.

I have even tried adding a new API, it does not help. How can I come out of this issue.

Make sure, you have not spun-up multiple instances of the same program. This thread explains more.

Hi Sravanthi. Thanks a ton for response. But my issue is still open. I am facing issue in establishing continuous connection through API, i believe its called web socket connection. Whats the maximum limit for following parameters, if any.
a) Web socket connections per API.
b) Web socket connections per kite account
c) No. of unique hardware which can establish connection per API
d) No. of unique hardware which can establish connection per kite account

Regards

A&B- One can open a max of 3 websocket connections per API key.
C&D- No such limitations

ok. thanks. now, last question. how do u define web socket connection. Does it mean a) 3 instances of my code per api or b) i can have connection from 3 machines and each machine can have multiples instances of a code running in parallel.

Each instance will count individually as the limit of 3. You may refer to the similar discussion here.
