This User Asked the Question on FB. "I keep getting the bandwidth limit exceeded error and its been going on for over an hour now... I cannot post comments, upvotes or anything and I just did a couple of posts before getting this crap... whats going on???"

The Conversation on Facebook.

Since They Failed to Give Me Their Handle I Made a Post for The Whole Community.

This problem pops up often for new Steemit users. The simple answer is that they do not have enough SteemPower to cover the bandwidth needed to post as many times or comment as many times as they would desire.

Please Go To SteemD to See Your Bandwidth.

As you can see in this screenshot I have 98.93% left in my bandwidth for the day. My voting power is down to 41.63%.

How to Fix Bandwidth Issues on Steemit.

  1. Wait Until Your Bandwidth Recovers. Use SteemD to Check.
  2. PowerUp Your Steemit Account. The More Steempower You Have the More Bandwidth You Have.

Seriously? Thanks for the flashback.

You answered the question of many people. As far as I know, it's not written anywhere.

thank you I did not know anything about it, good informative publication of yours

Thanks for passing this along! Resteemed.

Thanks for sharing precious information.

Many friends of mine had this problem and I did not know what to explain . It's a useful post, it should be added to the steemit guide

wow............so great post......and your presentation .......too good...i think,,,,,,you are the teacher of any kind of presentation.......i really appreciate you........for your workable theme ......that's so helpful for us.....many many thanks.......@hilarski..

thank you mr @hilarski i have this problem

So bandwidth recovers similarly to VP? Maybe just slower? Thanks for the help!

I think they recover at the same speed. I am not 100% positive but that is my best guess.

Need More Power

I had a buddy of mine contact me for this very reason! These were the only two suggestions I had for him! I am glad there was nothing else that could be done! He opted for option 1

ohhh really i faced this issue in my start but good to anwer this questins and maybe it help many newbies @hilarski if they will try to steemd to check thier bandwith

In fact, the new steemit users have been constantly reading this adversity and thank you for giving an important blog about steemit

Earlier i used to see it but after having some Steem power no more a issue if one has enough steem power in account

@hilarski thanks for the information is so good and helps so much. Have a incredible day

thank you very much friend, I had this problem a while ago

Mostly this happens to new accounts with lots of activity. They can get SP on lease from Minnowbooster for one week and there will be no issue during that week. If they get SP for one month, there will be no issue for one month.

Actually I had this problem just now on another account, not being able to use the market or send transactions with more than enough bandwith in store. Could be just me but it seems like the Steem blockchain is having some issues atm.

I have never had an issue. How much Steempower does that account have? Did you check on SteemD like I mentioned?

20SP, with above 75% bandwith. The weird thing is that upvoting still works fine (would assume commenting as well, but haven't tested).

nice post sir

Your progress is impressive! thanks for sharing.I love it

I have never had a problem with this but I have always stayed powered up. Steem rewards to ones truly committed. This is another great reason to stay powered up. We have very little spam and trolls unlike Reddit and Facebook where the experience is totally different in a negative way. I love Steem! Thanks for sharing.

Trust me or not...I had this problem in last 4 day. I writed a post, then suddenly I receive a message "bandwith kimit bla bla...". I was so nervous at that time. Just last night I can post, but...I not was so happy for delay :(

Irina V.

Thank you, I will look into!

@coupleumbrella its an issue Steemit Engineers are working on. If you have a chance listen to this video that explains the updates coming to Steem, @andrarchy explains the bandwidth issue in Steem. I have never had this problem but I have been here since June 2016 just a few months after launch investing into Steem Power and building my influence on Steem, always holding good amounts of Steem Power. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, Steem has little to no spam b/c essentially the Steem Power is what gives you access to the bandwidth in the Steem blockchain. If users were allowed vote or post as often as the like without a reduction in bandwidth rights then Steem would be flooded with spammers and fakers just like the other centralized Social Media systems we are all are running away from. Steem is the ultimate mediocrity. High SP gives users high influence and higher bandwidth rights.

thank you mr.@hilarski for this info ,, They always lie to me

some of my friend ask me about the problem and you just give the answer, very much helpful, thanks.

@hilarski - Sir I got this message & it's really annoying Sir... Ncie you decided to talk about it Sir...

+W+

It's so simple yet effective. You have provided very useful and much needed information in a very plain and easy way.

Thanks for doing this Randy!

as like charge your positing power

I think there might be another issue going on with Steemit. I have not done much to use up my bandwidth and SteemD is saying I have -1.36%.

It's a very good way to stop abuse. Otherwise people would go nuts and get bots all the way into steemit and they would keep upvoting 24/7. Good thing we have the concept of bandwidth and Steem power. This is truly a boon.

Upvote and re-steemed. Had a lot of people making this question lately sure there are more who still don't know about it.

good post friend, I invite you to see my blog

im also curious as of why autovoter does not work as well anymore. thanks for sharing this.

I've never had this problem though, but now I know what to do just in case I run into this..

I'd just wait

Oh yes, thanks, now I know what to answer :-)

I get lack of bandwidth very often! So I actually have to wait! I see!
Thank you very much, I was afraid maybe I broke something and now I cant post anything...

I think there is more to it than that...

I have these problems in the early morning for several hours when I haven't been active. It seems to fix itself in the afternoon. I can spend an hour or two making a lot of comments, upvotes, etc. then stop for x hours. When I return in the evening, no problems. But then morning... problem cycles again.

Yes this is very nice piece of info about bandwidth issue particularly for new users.

Thank you @hilarski and Have a great day.

I used to get this a lot when I started. It was so annoying to deal with! Hasn’t happened since my account powered up a lot!

In my early days in steemit I was having this issue but now it is absolutely fine for me.

Thank you @hilarski ...steem on and stay blissful...

@hilarski,
I have this issue and I got the answer! Thanks friend!

Cheers~

It all about power if you have more you get more and best way to keep up you need to vote or post not same time you need to let Distance between each one

i have this problem all the time that make me angry :)

thnaks for sharing with us it's so helpful

Hi Randy, Some important info on crypto gaming and smart tokens came to me today. I've been spending too much time checking them out.
I can't do this justice nor do I have the readership. maybe you can do some coverage?
Thanks dude My Blog here
Cheers

I'm having this problem but the thing is that I'm not doing anything on steemit, my bandwith goes down by itself, last night I went to sleep with 60% bandwith, when I woke up I had 20%, and now 14%...??????????

Thanks a lot for informing me about steemd yesterday, I am starting to understand the whole issue with bandwidth and will be monitoring it from now on for each time I post. I may take a couple days off from steemit after my next post to have to charge as full as possible. I noticed the KB speed of bandwidth lowers in the morning and I have more bandwidth at night time. Guess its the traffic?

Power on Randy. Great info for the new Steemians... and the old too.

Yeah, my friend had the same issue a few days ago.
But I'm still not sure if it can be helped with delegating SP or not.
