As an update to this for anyone else having the issue, it appears to have been caused by the Apache security mod, mod_evasive. I needed to whitelist the IP of the wordpress server and I am now able to export without issue.

Hi @rohittm,
Can you help me trace this back? I’ve checked all the logs that I can think of as well as the configuration files and can’t figure out what is causing this to be denied. I’ve already visited that Wiki and wasn’t able to resolve the issue.
Thanks!

Thanks @rohittm for the response! Yes that’s correct. No matter what I do I haven’t been able to solve this yet. It’s a self hosted site so I have full server access. Below is my .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress
