Fix: Snaptube is Overloaded at the Moment
Snaptube is inarguably one of the most used video downloaders, particularly on Android. And like other mobile/Android apps, it’s prone to errors such as this.
Anyway, below are some fixes to try:
Solution 1: Reduce Download Tasks
If you come across the “Snaptube is overloaded at the moment” error while running multiple downloads on the app, try and reduce the number of download tasks. Alternatively, you can easily set the maximum tasks to “1” (one download at a time).
If the error comes up afterwards, there is probably a cache damage or other more serious issues, in which case, you can try the next fix(es).
Solution 2: Clean up storage
Although, the impact/effect of congested RAM (or internal storage) on this error is unproven, it wouldn’t hurt to apply this troubleshooting as a possible fix. So, try and clean up your device’s RAM and storage.
In case of severe storage congestion, you can use a third-party cleaner app to free up space on your RAM and internal memory.
