Overpass API: Error for every request

Question

I want to run the following request:

(area["name"="Stuttgart"];)->.a; ( way.a["bicycle"="no"]; ); out geom;

I get all the time the error: "Error: runtime error: […] Another request from your IP is still running."

I tried it also with sample requests from the Overpass API wiki page, but no difference. I have nothing running what uses overpass, so what could be the problem?

Thanks for answer.

Your current query doesn't take the "Stuttgart" area into account. I'd suggest to try this alternative:

area["name"="Stuttgart"]->.a; 
way(area.a)["bicycle"="no"];
out geom;

Overpass Turbo link: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cw2

Another option to get to this query is to use overpass turbo wizard and enter bicycle=no in Stuttgart in the wizard popup.

Besides, there are already a few reports out there with the same error message you're seeing:

If you're affected by this, please either add a comment to this post or one of the GitHub tickets. It's always worth trying another Overpass API instance, like the rambler.ru instance. That's in overpass turbo -> Settings -> Server.
