This is a "wetware" problem. You need to teach all your users to press
the refresh button at exactly 30 seconds after any failure.

Seriously though, not the way you describe. You can't prevent people
being "able" to make requests. You can only change the result if they do
one you don't like.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
