# Why do I get "maximum allowed order request exceeded" error even though I haven't placed 5000 orders on Arrow Connect API?

## Short answer

You see this error because the maximum order request limit counts both successful orders and blocked invalid requests. Invalid orders don't appear in your order book but still count towards your API request limit.

Arrow Connect API counts all order requests, including:

Orders you successfully place

Orders blocked due to invalid requests

Invalid order requests occur due to inaccuracies in your code. You should recheck your code to avoid this error.
