Solana airdrop error, need help to fix my problem

Question

When I type this in the command prompt:

solana airdrop 2 -k ./Wallet/.config/solana/Seller.json

I get this error

Requesting airdrop of 2 SOL
Error: airdrop request failed. This can happen when the rate limit is reached.

What can I do?

Answer 1

you need to specify that you are on devnet.

solana airdrop 1 -k ./Wallet/.config/solana/Seller.json --url devnet

or if you are using pubkey

solana airdrop 2 6x5S2cL7fDwM27J7qmfActNJqXj3QcTeoyNTY8Gcujiq --url devnet  

Answer 2

Airdrops are typically limited to 1 SOL, so you can run:

$ solana airdrop 1 -k ./Wallet/.config/solana/Seller.json

Otherwise, the error says This can happen when the rate limit is reached. , so you may also need to back off and wait.

Answer 3

You Could Also Try Airdropping a Smaller Amount like 0.1 If It's Still Not Working..

solana airdrop 0.1 pubkey --url devnet
