Multiple Tabs

Why This Error Occurred​

In development mode Next.js creates 2 persistent connections to the server to receive hot updates and to keep pages active. Each browser has their own limit for the number of concurrent connections to a specific server a site is allowed to have so if you open the same Next.js site in multiple tabs of the same browser you could exceed your browser's limit.

Possible Ways to Fix It​

  • Don't have too many tabs open to the same Next.js site open in development in the same browser at the same time.
  • If using Firefox you can increase this limit by navigating to about:config and setting network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to a higher number
