ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

POxy 405

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain it to you.

You know how sometimes you want to play with a toy but someone else is already playing with it? You can't just take the toy away from them, right? You have to wait for them to finish playing and then you can have your turn.

That's kind of like what happens with a poxy 405 error. When you try to visit a website, your computer sends a request to the website's server asking for permission to access it. But sometimes, the server is already busy with other people's requests and can't handle yours at the same time. So instead of giving you access to the website, it sends back a message saying "Sorry, I'm busy right now, please try again later."

That message is called a poxy 405 error. It's like the website's way of saying, "I can't give you permission to access me right now, but you can try again later when I'm not so busy."

Does that make sense, kiddo?
