503 or 429 error from Hue bridge - its probably overloaded. Giving up.
The problem
When turning on a hue light from an entities card on a dashboard, I received the error message below and the light does not turn on. Light states in HA update to display correctly when they are changed from the native Hue App. Automations issuing light.turn_on or light.turn_off actions also fail.
Request failed: 25 requests to the bridge failed, its probably overloaded. Giving up.
A few attempts to restore the Hue integration function
- Reload the integration
Failed to reload
- Cleaned up the Hue bridge. Then reload the integration
Failed to reload
- Removed and added the Hue integration.
Hue bridge auto-detected and added all expected devices, services, and entities. Same error message when attempting to turn on the light again.
Rolled back to 2024.9.1 and the Hue integration works again.

I'm not sure if you welcome "me too!" messages, but I'm having a fault of the exact same description which led me to this issue.
I will note that WRITING commands from HA to the Hue hub fails with the 'Request failed: 25 requests to the bridge failed, its probably overloaded. Giving up.' message provided by jcontrady
However, READING from the Hue hub into HA still seems to work-- my motion sensors still happily report events, temperature, and light levels, and if I switch a light on with some other tool (the official Android app, or Hue Essentials, or Hue Menu Bar on the Mac, or Hoppla on Linux), the device's status change is reflected in HA.
The Hue Hub is a BSB002 running firmware 1.66.1966117030, which hueblog.de indicates was released sometime around 23 September, corresponding roughly with the timing of this issue's presentation. I bet Philips b0rked something.
Restoring from my July backup did not help. Deleting the Hue integration and re-pairing with the hub did not help. If you want any logs or troubleshooting from me, I'm happy to help, otherwise I'll go away.
Hi @theodric, Thanks for mentioning the Hue hub model and firmware. I have the same BSB002 on firmware 1.66.1966117030 and noticed the same behavior that reading devices into HA works. Not sure I grabbed the correct logs so if you want to add yours I can't imagine it would hurt.
I'm also having this same issue, started for me in core 2024.10.01. My Hue bridge is also on the same firmware version.
Same problem here with firmware 1.67.1967054010 What is strange is that I have a second hub with the same firmware but this one is still working
Same problem, started for me in core 2024.10.01. Hue Bridge model BSB002, SW Version: 1.66.1966117030 from 24.09.2024.
Removing the Hue integration from HA and re-adding it helps, but after a few hours it stops working again.

Bizarrely, after I experienced a two-hour power outage, thereby fully power-cycling everything all at once, the Hue integration magically started working again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bizarrely, after I experienced a two-hour power outage, thereby fully power-cycling everything all at once, the Hue integration magically started working again. ¯(ツ)/¯
Did it stay working? I could get mine working again just by restarting Home Assistant core, but it would stop working again after a little while with the same errors. Haven't tried 10.2 or 10.3 yet though.
Tried 2024.10.3, issue still happens there. Downgraded again to 2024.9.3 and it went back to working without issue.
Same issue here with 2024.10.3. Downgrade to 2024.9.3 and works without issue. Using this command: ha core update --version=2024.9.3 https://community.home-assistant.io/t/how-to-downgrade-home-assistant/179735
This apparently is a widespread issue, added a new generic Tuya color bulb to my Hue bridge this morning, commands were sporadic and the bridge became non-responsive at times. Downgrade HA Core to 2024.9.3 and works without issue, didn't even have to restart the Hue bridge.

I think it's been about ten days now and it's still working (again) for me post-power outage. After it magically started working, I upgraded my HAOS aarch64 VM to core 2024.10.4, Supervisor 2024.10.3, and OS 13.2, and the Hue integration still functions.

You seem to have gotten really lucky. I powered my haos VM off and unplugged my hue bridge, then powered both back up. After a few hours, it went right back to a non functional state again on 2024.10.4.
I cant reproduce this issue at all. The only way to trigger this is if there are MANY commands to the Hue hub. At some point its (very limited) webserver will start denying requests.
-
Do you have other apps connected to the Hue bridge like Hue Essentials or node Red ? If so, try shutting them down for a while
-
Do you have any integrations or automations that do many commands to Hue lights such as Adaptive lightning ? If so, try disabling that for a while to test.
This may as well have some other external cause such as an HTTP connection not being closed properly etc. That will need to be closely looked at.
Obviously, I cannot speak for anyone else here, but I can answer these for my experience.
* Do you have other apps connected to the Hue bridge like Hue Essentials or node Red ? If so, try shutting them down for a while
I only have two things talking to Hue, Home Assistant and Google Assistant. I rarely use Google Assistant to interact with my Hue lights, but even when Home Assistant has been throwing these "giving up" errors, I have been able to control my Hue lights via Google Assistant (and via the Hue app). This certainly makes it seem like the problem is on the HA side.
* Do you have any integrations or automations that do many commands to Hue lights such as Adaptive lightning ? If so, try disabling that for a while to test.
No. The only interactions that HA does with Hue is turning on Hue scenes and turning Hue lights off. Nothing more.
This may as well have some other external cause such as an HTTP connection not being closed properly etc. That will need to be closely looked at.
For me, at least, this is solely happening when I update HA core to 2024.10.1 or later. If I'm running 2024.9.3 or earlier, I have no issues. I don't know if something changed in the core that would impact requests sent to the Hue bridge, or if this is pure coincidence. I can say I've upgraded HA core to each of the 2024.10 versions when they came out to test and every time this started happening, after which I would downgrade to 2024.9.3 and the integration would work as expected again, so it definitely seems to be consistent and repeatable in my install at least.
Thanks for the additional info - I'll have to investigate if there have been any changes to our http client then (aiohttp).
If there's anything I can provide to help troubleshoot this, please let me know since I can reliably cause the issue to occur.
I just wanted to chime in and say that I also ran into this issue. Hub is running 1.67.1967054020 and HA is on 2024.10.2.
Best I can tell is that it started 3 days ago based off the last time one of my automations turned on a light.
As with @theodric, reading the state from the hub worked, but writing did not. A reboot of the hub seems to have fixed it for now at least.
Here is the log from HA, but it doesn't look to be anything particularly useful

Any updates on this? I upgraded to 2024.11.01 and had this happen again afterwards. I'm wondering if I should try removing and adding my hue bridge again, but its really annoying having to set up my automations again...
Based on my own experiences only, it looks like aiohttp got updated from 3.10.5 to 3.10.8 between the working and problematic releases. This is the diff between those versions: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/compare/v3.10.5...v3.10.8

FWIW I upgraded from 2024.9.3 to 2024.11.1 and haven’t had the issue since.
Still persists for me in 2024.11.2. I grabbed a debug log today of it happening, but I don't think there's anything particularly useful in it. Just a lot of this:

If desired, I can provide the full log, but I don't see anything all that useful.
I do see occasional 503 or 429 messages throughout the day, but normally after a retry or two it is successful. Eventually, something tips and it starts hitting the 25 retry, giving up state at which point it does not ever recover.
I also tried rebooting the Hue Bridge, to see if that would restore functionality, but even after that Home Assistant is still doing the same thing, which further suggests that the problem is on the Home Assistant side of the equation.
It makes me wonder if the retries are too aggressive, or if something is continuing to send requests to the bridge in the background which eventually leads to a cascading failure.
I don't have good evidence to support this theory, because I didn't notice things were working straight away, but I also had this issue for a while.
I separately noticed that my HA wall time was wrong by a few minutes, which I resolved by installing ntpd on my docker host.
Some time later I noticed Hue devices were all showing up normally again. Could a time difference between the Hue bridge & HA cause something like this?
I don't really want to switch back to systemd-timesyncd which doesn't keep my system clock in time just to confirm this, sorry 😅
Today I was (finally!) able to reproduce this issue after adding a lot more lights to one single Hub. So this seems to be a combination of factors but it is has to do with the amount of resources (lights/devices/scenes etc) on the Hue hub - makes sense as that will also increase the json payloads. This may as well be as simple as a timeout or message size limit. In my case, a restart of the Hue bridge resolved the issue. I'll poke more in to this tomorrow.
Question to you all is how many resources you have on the hue bridge ? So lights, zones, rooms, scenes and remotes etc. Give or take, doesnt have to be precise. Just to have an indication if this only happens on large setups.
I have a pretty small Hue setup... 8 bulbs, 4 rooms, 1 zone, 28 scenes (this is just the "natural light" scene in each of the 4 rooms)
I do have a mid-size setup with 24 lamps, 3 motion sensors and 2 dial switches. All connected to on one hub.
All in all the hue Integration in Home assistant has 30 devices, 10 services and 155 entities.
Based on my own experiences only, it looks like aiohttp got updated from 3.10.5 to 3.10.8 between the working and problematic releases. This is the diff between those versions: https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/compare/v3.10.5...v3.10.8
Yeah, I noticed that as well and its actually the only change that could possibly explain the behavior. I'm currently trying to reproduce the issue with and without that aiohttp bump involved to pinpoint it. So far I was not able to reproduce with downgrading aiohttp.
After the hub reboot way back when I made my last comment sometime last month I haven't had the issue pop back up. I'm still running HA 2025.10.2.
As far as my Hue setup, I'd say it's rather small. 10 bulbs, 1 switch, 4 rooms, and 20 or so scenes of which most are the default ones from the Hue app.
My Hue integration has 11 devices, 4 services, and 66 entities.
I'm also experiencing this issue. Press on/off on an individual light in HA, nothing happens. Sometimes 20 seconds later the light will 'catch up' and change state.
5 devices (4 lights + bridge), 3 services, 11 entities
Via HA: Delays, issues as seen from other commenters Via HTTP PUT via Hue API / python requests.put : all works ok. I can spam it with JSON states as many times as I want and it keeps working, even during the failing HA errors.

Hitting the same issue (I installed my hue bridge a couple days ago), my setup is rather small: 4 lamps in 1 room, and one hue remote (dimmer switch). Changes from the hue app are immediate and mirrored in HA at once, but actions from HA timeout almost always. I can test integration patches and/or provide logs as needed.
