# Upload Throttled

If you see the message **Too many files uploaded, your uploads have been throttled for short period**, this is due to a security precaution in the editor that kicks in after a large number of uploads have been processed. The reason for this is that too many uploads can potentially cause performance issues for other users. The limits can be dynamic but are roughly 200 files over a 30 minute period. Waiting for 30 minutes before uploading more documents will refresh the throttle.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/knowledge-base/140-upload-throttled.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
