Pokestops not working

Pokestops not working - Man in Gray and White Plaid Dress Shirt With Gray Necktie

Pokestops aren't working for me. Every time I spin it, it just says "Try again later". Even when I wait for a few seconds to spin it, I get the same results. I don't have any connectivity problems, I don't share accounts, and my bag isn't full. I've tried everything to fix it. I've deleted and redownloaded it, I've forced closed the app, and restarted my phone. Nothing works.



Best Answer

There could be 1 of 2 problems:

Moving too fast: You may be moving too fast and hitting the maximum speed limit for pokestops. If you stand still for 15-30 seconds it should reset and you'll be able to spin them again

Soft-banned: You may be soft-banned and will have to wait. To test this, try catching a pokemon and not get it in 1 shot. If it doesn't run away after 1 ball then you're fine. If you are soft-banned, all pokemon run away after 1 ball hit (if they don't get caught). It could be some time to get unbanned, if this is the first time probably 15-30 minutes. Soft-bans are usually given by 'teleporting' too much. For example, this happened to me when I went into a place that (for some unknown reason) teleported my GPS to another city 300km away (was happening to everybody else in the building as well, might have something to do with the wifi set-up there). I was soft-banned for 30 minutes because the game thought I may have been cheating.

Why are my PokeStops not working?

Often the app becomes unresponsive when catching a Pokemon because of server connection issues. If the app stops responding - your Poke Ball isn't moving and there's no longer a symbol telling you it's trying to connect - you'll have to restart the app as in point 1.

Why can I not spin PokeStops?

So what happens if you reach the PokeStop spin limit? Once you reach the PokeStop spin limit, every PokeStop you try to spin will give you an error and you can no longer spin PokeStops. Please have in mind that if you spin 7,000 PokeStops but you don't hit the daily spin limit, you're not going to be capped.

Why do PokeStops keep saying try again?

In theory this allows Pokemon Go to establish a secure connection towards their servers for the transaction, in effect your PokeStop and Gym connections get refreshed. This one took me a long time to figure out. It happens when you successively Power up a Pokemon in Pokemon Go. I observed this when Powering up my Onix.
