tried:

solana airdrop 1
solana airdrop 1 <address> --url devnet
solana airdrop 1 <address> --url https://api.devnet.solana.com

all returns this error:

Error: airdrop request failed. This can happen when the rate limit is reached.

i can confirm that my cli config is set to devnet, also it affects my typescript function airdropSol() which returns an error:

Error: airdrop to GFfY2JVH2iB9gRmg7oKdwgGJcbXuhGu8vEsMY5yJryeq failed: Internal error

    internal error means server cannot process the request. if you get response from the server that means your solana installation is correct. maybe your api address is blocked somehow. can you manipulate the ip address and try it again – Yilmaz Nov 08 '22 at 03:44
  • or maybe try to install the solana latest version – Yilmaz Nov 08 '22 at 03:52
  • tried reinstalling different versions of solana, no luck. just want to confirm, solana do blocking api requests from ip which requests airdrops too often? if so, is changing ip the only solution for this, is there by any chance i could contact them and explain my situation? :'( – melvin manangan Nov 09 '22 at 16:40
  • Search how to change ip address in your os. – Yilmaz Nov 09 '22 at 17:33
  • r u sure you are passing correct address – Yilmaz Nov 10 '22 at 00:27
  • yeah, 100%. it used to work, but after a while it suddenly returns such error without any alteration made in the code – melvin manangan Nov 10 '22 at 14:00

Try running this

curl -v https://api.devnet.solana.com --resolve api.devnet.solana.com:443:139.178.65.155 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"requestAirdrop", "params":["<wallet pub key>", 1000000000]}'
