WEB-8452 Minecraft API/Login responding with HTTP 429 error. Confirmed

Comments

Hi there! It appears to be fixed on my end. I noticed last night that I refreshingly had no errors logging in. I also just tested the third-party launchers that I most commonly use, and those all seem to be functional again, too.

Thank you for addressing this issue.

Thank you SO MUCH for the update and letting me/us know that you’ve confirmed the issue and are working on it. I look forward to your updates. In the meantime, best regards!!

It’s slightly improved for me, but I still get an error 99% of the time I open the Minecraft launcher. Ironically, though, if I just click retry a few times, it usually logs me in. It doesn’t work for very long though, because I’ve done that and immediately re-opened the launcher just to get the error again (30-40 seconds later).

I can confirm that the issue also affects minecraft.net for me, too.

I also can’t believe its been several weeks without even an acknowledgment. Today, I did take the additional step though of creating a ticket with Mojang Support and another with Xbox feedback that includes the link to this bug report.

Additionally, I wrote a lengthy email and sent it to Phil Spencer (lead of Xbox) and Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft). Not that I expect they will personally see it or respond, but my hope is that bringing this to the attention of their executive teams will get the ball rolling and hopefully end up with someone actually looking into this issue.

Do you happen to live in the northeast region of the USA?

I have been running in to issues that prevent login to Minecraft, including the official Minecraft launcher, third party launchers, and the official Minecraft website. This has been going on since approximately 1/11/2026, and others have confirmed that they are experiencing it as well. If you’re lucky enough to get a rare successful login, it almost always logs you out the next time too. I reported that issue here: WEB-8452

I continue to experience this error. I have a Minecraft server locally as well, and see occasional [14:21:53] [User Authenticator #1/ERROR]: Couldn't verify username because servers are unavailable logs now, too.

I am running in to this same issue, and reported it as WEB-8452 last night. It has gotten significantly worse since the Realms outage last weekend, and has rendered the game almost entirely unplayable/inaccessible for me.

Here is what the Debug Information in Modrinth says:
