I'm getting a "too many requests, please try again later" error when trying to recover my account or change my email address

The "too many requests, please try again later" error appears when too many attempts have been made in a short period of time. It's a security measure to protect your account.

Try the following:

  • Open a private or incognito browser window and try again

  • Try a different web browser or device

  • Wait 24 hours and try again

If you have recently submitted multiple account recovery requests, you may need to wait a few days before trying again.

This error cannot be cleared by Epic Games Support - it will reset automatically.
