Now rate limits are now per account and not connection, probably since they added the the known/verified status.
So if I did the same example but I connect to each channel with 1 IP (so 200 IPs lol), it wouldn’t matter, correct? I’d still get locked out.
The best bet is to set your local rate limiting to be within the moderator rate limit.
How does that help though? That makes a bot unable to send more than 100 messages across all channels in a 30s window. Again, bots connected to hundreds of channels… it seems to me like that limit is way too easy for these big bots to hit.
The IP thing you described is what I’ve heard in the past. In fact, I was able to use the bot account normally if it got locked out on my server. But I don’t know if it still works like that, cause when I test with a dummy account my IP seems to be locked out too, which makes it even harder for me to test this. I can’t tell if the strategy I implement fails because the bot is going over the limit or because the IP got locked out.
