I’m getting an error saying, “Limit exceeded” when I am submitting my sitemap to Yahoo.
Can anyone explain what the error means?
Possible problems:
1. Too many submissions: we certainly don’t send the sitemap 5000 times in a day.
2. The sitemap is too big: Our sitemap is a mere 40k file and gzipped.
Thanks.
It plainly says on the Yahoo website that it is caused by exceeding 5000 requests in a 24 hour period.

So, it would seem that it is caused by your program making more than 5,000 requests (perhaps you have a bug)
NOTE: It is 5000 requests in 24hours for that specific IP. So if you have shared hosting, and someone else is making requests, they will be adding to your limit.
