paul beynon 15 Reputation points2026-01-21T15:34:16.2933333+00:00 Looking at the time of the start of all our problems with this error I suggest it is Microsoft's/Yahoo issue.
Mine started at 3.15 with a no internet message, followed by the edge too many requests error - even though I log in once and leave my emails open all day! I've tried clearing the cache, using three different servers and I'm still getting the message! I can access emails on my phone - but I run a very busy office and this really is not acceptable.

I' seriously considering closing my Yahoo account and part of issue is that they want members to upgrade to Yahoo Plus where a fee is charged every month. And if your one who does NOT upgrade, you have more problems!

Microsoft Q&A is public, and we can only provide information. It is beyond our capability to assist directly with account or login-related issues.
The "Too Many Requests” error usually happens if there have been multiple login attempts in a short period of time, and Microsoft temporarily blocks further attempts to protect the account.
Could you let me know when you last tried signing in after the reset?
Sometimes it helps to wait for a full 24 hrs before trying again, especially after multiple failed attempts.
Also, are you trying to sign in from a new device or location? Sometimes that can also trigger extra security checks.
Click "Add comment" to let me know.
Regards,
John J.D.

2025-10-23T13:20:25.1333333+00:00 Thank you for letting me know.
This is likely just a temporary block from multiple sign-in attempts or some background activity that triggered the error.
It usually helps to wait a full 24 hours before trying again.
