Kite: Maximum allowed order modifications exceeded
In short
Zerodha allows an order to be modified a maximum of 25 times. Once you cross this limit, further modify requests are rejected with this error. To fix it, either reduce how often you modify the same order, or cancel the order and place a new one with your desired changes.
What this error means
This error comes from Zerodha (Kite), not from us. Zerodha allows an order to be modified a maximum of 25 times. When your strategy or your manual edits cross that count for a single order, Zerodha rejects the next modify request.
See this Zerodha support post for more details.
Solution
You can fix this in one of two ways:
- Reduce your modify order API calls, or
- Cancel the order and place a new order with your desired changes.
