The “Too Many Attempts” TikTok error message may occur due to several reasons. Most commonly, it’s because the TikTok server has temporarily banned your IP address because of repeated attempts to perform the same action in a short period of time, such as login attempts. For example, if you tried to log in with incorrect credentials.

Also, if you are trying to send too many security or verification codes to your phone number, you may also get the “Too Many Attempts. Try Again Later” error message.

As a result, you may be restricted from performing certain actions on TikTok for a few minutes to a few hours.

Here are several fixes you can try to get rid of the “Too Many Attempts Try Again Later” issue.

1. Delete and reinstall TikTok

The first method you can try is deleting and reinstalling TikTok. This will also clear the cache on your TikTok app, and possibly eliminate the temporary block. Afterward, when you open TikTok again, the issue should be resolved and you should be able to use the app normally.

2. Use a VPN
