Cloudflare Error 1025: Please check back later (Workers request limit)

The site’s Cloudflare Workers plan exceeded its daily request limit (free plan: 100,000 requests/day).

Seen on: Cloudflare

Meaning

When a free-plan Worker hits the daily limit, requests fail with 1025 until reset (or “fail open” if configured to bypass the Worker).

Common causes

  • Workers Free plan daily limit exceeded
  • Traffic spike or bot traffic invoking the Worker
  • Worker route matching more paths than needed (static assets)

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Upgrade to Workers Paid
  2. Narrow routes so static assets don’t invoke the Worker
  3. Set the route to fail open

Detailed fix by platform

Cloudflare

  1. # Workers & Pages → Overview → usage; Routes → set "Request limit failure mode: Fail open"

How to diagnose

  1. Usage — Requests per day
  2. Routes — Patterns too broad?
