I can put objects, but get 503 for ListBuckets

Posted on December 27, 2023

I was able to set up a Swift (language) client SDK to write some code to put objects in a bucket, but the ListBuckets API returns 503 Service Unavailable. Should that API also work?

Heya,

This can happen when you attempt too many requests at a time. Can you confirm how many items/objects you’re trying to upload?

Can you also upload a single file without any issues to verify that this works without hassle?

Heya,

As already mentioned you might be hitting the limits.

Spaces have the following request rate limits:

750 requests (any operation) per IP address per second to all Spaces on an account.
240 total operations per second to any individual Space.
150 combined PUT, POST, COPY, DELETE, and LIST operations per second to any individual Space. We may further limit LIST operations if necessary under periods of high load.
5 PUT or COPY requests per 5 minutes to any individual object in a Space.

For more information you can take a look at the documentation here:
