RuneScape: "Too many login attempts"
Login blocked during busy periods
Jagex says this shows up when traffic is high and logins are being held back. Trying again and again makes it worse.
How to fix "Too many login attempts"
Wait at least 30 minutes before you try to log in again.
Log in through the Jagex Launcher with a Jagex account, or through Steam.
Try another account to see whether only this account is blocked.
Try a different connection, such as mobile data instead of home internet, and avoid VPNs.
Use an official client and avoid frequent world hopping or account switching.
