The last few days, every once in a while I suddenly can’t vote on posts. Seems random for the timing on it all, as well as random for when it starts working again. Anyone else been having any issues? I’ve already tried from several different computers and IP addresses. Thanks!
Rate limiting is possible. Currently, 1/3 of all the traffic coming in (about 200K requests/day) are bots. Rate limits were necessary. How often do you vote within a minute?
In the past 24 hours, only 13 requests got rate-limited by the firewall. No rate limits in the last 24 hours from the server itself. The 13 was part of a burst of requests coming from lemmy.world. But just 13 the whole day. Unsure where else the 429 error could have come from. Seems unlikely it was from feddit.online.
