Automatic shutdown: Route limit exceeded
I am establishing a Peering session with HE on multiple IX, but I am receiving automatic disconnection due to excess routes.
How can I solve this?

How many routes does HE announce to you? You might want to take a look at this and similar options https://pathvector.io/docs/configuration#import-limit4
On the session with HE, just do this: import-limit4: 9999999 import-limit6: 9999999
That will fix it - but be warned: HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FILTER THEIR IXP EXPORTS - IF YOU TAKE THE FREE v6 FROM THEM, THEY WILL EXPORT YOU A FULL TABLE ON v4 ALSO BUT NOT LET OUTBOUND FROM YOU GO TO IT. I HIGHLY SUGGEST disabling import with "import: false" on V4 and making separate pathvector entries for v4 and v6. v4 set to ixppeer template and v6 set to upstream template. This is 100% a live current issue in LONAP, BIX, and KCIX from personal experience. Do not import v4 from HE - ever - pretty much unless you want to filter IRR on their ASN ONLY by setting AS-SET: AS6939 and auto-as-set: false. Their AS-SET is dirty as heck and includes 48.6% of global routing table.
