Maximum allowed order modifications exceeded on Zerodha Kite

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

“Maximum allowed order modifications exceeded” is the message Kite returns when a single order has been modified the maximum number of times Zerodha permits, which is 25; the 26th modification request is rejected, and the documented fix is to cancel the existing order and place a new order instead. The cap is a per-order rate control, it applies identically on Kite web , the Kite app, and the Kite Connect API, and the modification count resets the moment you place a fresh order.

The “max order request exceeded” error in Kite Connect typically indicates you’ve hit the per-second or per-minute rate limit, not the daily 5000-order cap.
