Support & Troubleshooting
What does the 'Overloaded' error mean when trying to create an agent?
The 'Overloaded' error occurs when Anthropic/Claude's servers are experiencing high traffic and are temporarily overloaded.
What this means
This error happens when:
- Anthropic/Claude's servers are at capacity
- There's high demand on the AI model infrastructure
- The servers are temporarily unable to process new requests
How to resolve it
Wait and retry:
- This is a temporary issue that usually resolves within 5-10 minutes
- Simply try creating your agent again after waiting a few minutes
- The error typically clears up on its own as server load decreases
If the problem persists:
- Wait 10-15 minutes and try again
- If you're still experiencing issues after 15+ minutes, contact our support team at support@abundly.ai
Why this happens
This error is on Anthropic's side (the AI model provider), not with Abundly's platform. It's similar to when a popular website gets too much traffic - the servers need a moment to catch up with demand.
Future improvements
We're working on making this error message clearer and more user-friendly to better explain what's happening and what to do next.
