This error comes from mod_evasive apache module.

I had installed Apache mod_evasive for DoS protection, and I did not know that just by installing this module it affects Apache and on Debian default (non-existing) configuration for this module is quite aggressive for modern service-based web applications.

I created /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-evasive.conf as a default config for this module with higher limits and problem solved.
