Rate limiting on search endpoint
Hi @KajMagnus,
We have integrated search in our app that searches the forum, but some users are hitting rate limits. What's the rate limits right now? Perhaps we need to alter our code to ensure this doesn't happen, or maybe the limits are too tight.
https://forum.soundflow.org/-/v0/search: You (or someone else) have searched too much, the last moments. Please try again after fifteen seconds. [DwE35BG8]

(I'll look into the backup problem first? More RAM a bit later today or tomorrow morning, should be a quick fix)
(Sorry for the troubles)

Thanks! When you reverted the dynamic limits that caused the other bug, did we then also get raised limits on the search api?
Can I configure those for our site to set them higher now that we're self hosted?
KajMagnus @KajMagnus2022-04-19 06:12:33.128ZYes, rate limits are raised, and that should have been included in the settings table we copied.
I added some docs: How to login as SuperAdmin — it's the
Rdmultiplier (for read limits) you'd like to change. I think it's high enough already though (3 times the defaults). TheCrmultiplier changes how many categories there can be. The default is 5 000, and SF's multiplier is 5, meaning, the forum can have 25 000 categories.Actually the default, 5 000, is a bit much, and some time, for new sites, I'll change it to 50 or 100 (but not your site).
