How to Fix "Application Quota Limit Reached" While Unlocking Bootloader on Xiaomi (2025 Guide)
Trying to unlock your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO bootloader but getting this error?
Error: "Application quota limit reached. Try again later."
This is a common issue in 2025. Don’t worry — here’s a step-by-step guide to fix it and get your bootloader unlocked successfully.
📌 What Does This Error Mean?
This message appears when too many unlock requests have been made from:
- Your Mi Account
- Your IP Address / Region
- Or Xiaomi's server side quota for unlock approvals
✅ Fix 1: Wait 7 Days & Reattempt
This is Xiaomi’s default cooldown period. If your Mi Account is newly signed into the device, wait at least 168 hours (7 days) before trying to unlock again.
✅ Fix 2: Use a Different Mi Account
- Factory reset your phone.
- Create a new Mi Account from a different email & number.
- Sign in to the new account on the device.
- Link it to “Mi Unlock status” and wait 1–2 days.
- Try unlocking with the new account.
✅ Fix 3: Change Your IP Address / Location
This error may be region-based. Try this:
- Use a different internet connection or mobile data
- Try unlocking from another PC or Wi-Fi network
- VPN is not recommended but might help temporarily
✅ Fix 4: Use Mi Unlock Tool v6.5 or Above
Old Mi Unlock Tools sometimes fail to sync with updated Xiaomi servers.
- Download latest tool from official site
- Extract, login, and retry unlocking after device linking
✅ Fix 5: Use Telegram or Xiaomi Forums
If nothing works, join Xiaomi or POCO groups on Telegram where some users get **test account help** or region-specific advice. Sometimes Xiaomi support resets your unlock limit.
