NO BUG: Getting error when trying to use dynamic data as a link

When trying to insert a link using dynamic data (from metabox) I am getting error:error message ( this gets put in multiple places throughout the page.
If I save and refresh the page - the error goes away and the link is working (on backend and frontend). There is no error on the front end - this is only happening on the backend.
I checked the console log and these errors appear when that happens (the errors do not exist prior to inserting the link):
POST [website URL]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 503 (Service unavailable) jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2

I have trying deactiving cache and perfmatters in case that was blocking it but its not fixing.

503 usually happens because of the server/hosting.

what is your hosting? do you usually have slowing problems on the server?

no, there aren’t any issues with slow down on the server.
We use gridpane with VULTR servers ( this one is on a dev server so very low traffic.

Further information on this:
The nginx errors seem to indicate that its hitting a rate limit and limiting requests.

I have tried to increase the rate limit, but it didn’t fix my problem I’m hoping Brick Support can figure out why this is happening - I have seen multiple instances of this over on another community support forum (Gridpane).

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your report, and sorry for the late reply.

You are referring to this post by Gridpane, right?

Have you already contacted Gridpane support?

As far as I can see, the problem is caused by the nginx rate limiting, which we have no control over (like the other plugins mentioned). As I said, your best bet is to contact Gridpane as the issue seems to be very server specific and we don’t have a single other report on it.

Would be cool if you could give us a short update when you have received feedback from Gridpane.

yes, i had to raise the limit rate…
