Today on 6th Aug I started posting orders and from the first order I received the error Maximum allowed order Requests Exceeded
This was super crazy as on market open I was not able to execute any orders and it has scared the shit out of me. Today it was fine as the market was flat, but has it been any gapup or down I would have been screwed.
When I called the support I was told that I have used 3000 order limit which is not the case because I would have hardly posted 10 orders. I was asked to post in this forum to get the resolution.
Can someone please look into this serious matter and fix this.
The error message is only displayed if the maximum order request limit is breached. Kite Connect API not only counts the orders placed but also the orders blocked due to invalid requests. Invalid orders are not displayed in the order book. However, they are counted as API requests.
Invalid order requests are created due to an inaccuracy in the code. Recheck the code to avoid the error. Go through this article.
I have been using the same code for a long time. I am pretty sure this would not have been the case.
Also the scary part is that I was not able to post orders from the kite as well. Restricting API is one thing, but restricting from KITE as well is another, which should not happen.
We request you to use the correct code, as it's placing junk orders as per market conditions, which will be counted as invalid requests, but counted as API requests.
