Apex Legends 429: What it is and How to Fix it
If fans encounter an "Error Code 429" message in Apex Legends, it is a connection error. The problem is more than likely not on the player's end, however. When this error appears, fans will be unable to join servers but it will be because the servers for the game itself are offline.
This can happen because of server maintenance, a pressing update that needs to be added live, or other fixes that Respawn Entertainment would need to immediately make before players continue playing or logging into Apex Legends. The only way to fix it will be to keep trying until Respawn brings the servers back online.
Developers recently solved a problem that wiped every player's progress, including levels, skins, and more.
