## Statements (checkable)
0. Cloudflare Workers docs list error page 1027 as Worker exceeded free tier daily request limit.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. The Workers limits page: accounts on the Workers Free plan have a daily request limit of 100,000 requests, resetting at midnight UTC; when a Worker exceeds it Cloudflare returns Error 1027.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Wait for the midnight-UTC reset, reduce requests (cache, static assets), or move to Workers Paid; the limits page also documents a fail-open option for routes in front of an origin.
```
