Solana airdrop error, need help to fix my problem

Viewed 2149

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?

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  

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.
