Hi,
What does error code 429,Too Many Requests actually means?
Is the coordinator is fully loaded or the cluster is fully loaded?
Thanks...

Hi @avnere
Take a look at this..
> **[Rejected requests | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/rejected-requests.html)**
And yes it could be the coordinator if all your requests are directed at it or could be the backing data nodes that can't keep up.
Tell us a bit more about your cluster architecture version, size, number, disk type etc type and the type / how many requests and perhaps someone can help.
