Common Upstash errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
ERR max requests limit exceeded | Your database exceeded its maximum monthly request count. | Your side | Upgrade to pay-as-you-go or a fixed plan. Source |
ERR max daily request limit exceeded | Your database exceeded its daily request count limit. | Your side | Upgrade the plan or wait for the daily reset. Source |
ERR max concurrent connections exceeded | You reached the concurrent connection limit. | Your side | Close connections when done, especially in serverless functions, or use the REST API. Source |
Error: read ECONNRESET | The server requires TLS but your client connected without it. | Your side | Enable TLS; a Redis URL should start with rediss://. Source |
NOAUTH Authentication required | The password (your database token) is missing from the connection parameters. | Your side | Add the token from the console to your connection settings. Source |
ERR DB capacity quota exceeded | The database size exceeds your plan's max data size. | Your side | Delete data or upgrade the plan. Source |
Is it just you?
- Read the error: most Upstash errors name a plan limit or a connection setting on your side.
- Check your database's usage in the console against your plan limits.
- Make sure your client uses TLS (rediss://) and includes the token.
- Check status.upstash.com for regional incidents.
Alternatives to Upstash
Questions
Your database used its monthly request allowance. Upgrade to pay-as-you-go or a fixed plan to continue.
Errors starting with ERR max, and ERR DB capacity quota exceeded, mean the database reached a limit. Connection errors across many databases at once point to an Upstash problem.
