5 months ago i understand that Mastodon-API based timeline sync (markers) has its limits.
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/rate-limits/#limits says:
By default, the following limits are hardcoded: Per account: All endpoints and methods can be called 300 times within 5 minutes. [...] Per IP: All endpoints and methods can be called 300 times within 5 minutes.
If I'm reading that right, the limit is not per-endpoint - a call to any endpoint counts towards the same limit. And presumably, "per IP" means that multiple devices behind the same NAT (e.g., devices in the same house-hold / school / office) count towards the same limit.
The above says "by default", but this ticket implies that the only way to configure the limits is to change the source code: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/15832
i understand that Mastodon-API based timeline sync (markers) has its limits. How about optional timeline sync (full automatic) via iCloud? Could that solve the problem of too many accesses per hour/day? I really would appreciate automatic sync between iOS App and macOS App.
