The database queue is too long.

Free plan

The error list includes `D1 DB is overloaded. Too many requests queued.` and `D1 DB is overloaded. Requests queued for too long.`

The same messages. The fix in the docs is to make queries cheaper, spread them out, or shard.

What it means

These are capacity errors, not the row-read invoice.

What it does to a bill

A scan that is cheap per row can still overload D1 if you fire it on every request.
