How To: Resolve "IOPub message rate exceeded" error

Overview

If you are executing a notebook cell that it is performing a high rate of print statements, you may encounter the error message:

IOPub message rate exceeded.
The Jupyter server will temporarily stop sending output
to the client in order to avoid crashing it.
To change this limit, set the config variable
`--ServerApp.iopub_msg_rate_limit`.

Current values:
ServerApp.iopub_msg_rate_limit=1000.0 (msgs/sec)
ServerApp.rate_limit_window=3.0(secs)

Solution

If the error is caused by executing a SPy command, set the quiet parameter to True. All SPy methods accept the quiet parameter.

spy.pull(items, start='2019-01-01', end='2019-01-07', quiet=True)

If the error is not caused from SPy, eliminate print statements in notebook cell code and investigate third-party modules or packages to see if output suppression is possible.
