”You have requested too many airdrops for (some address)” error

Even though devnet and testnet SOL isn’t worth anything, people still try and abuse the Airdrop servers that provide devnet/testnet SOL. As a result, the amount of airdrops is limited. If you recieve an error stating “You have requested too many airdrops” visit the Solana Faucket , paste in the devnet/testnet address and retry.
