Chegg account keeps getting suspended #27

Closed arkanalexei closed 2 years ago

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago

Have my own subscription, and I don't share with anyone. Launched the bot on the same browser, same IP as my chegg account and I still get that prompt a day or so after launching the bot. How to fix?

k4anubhav commented 2 years ago

How many questions do you ask per day? and are there some spikes in usage?

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago

How many questions do you ask per day? and are there some spikes in usage? I could not say for certain but definitely a lot. And yes, definitely some spikes in usage as well. Is there a workaround for this? Perhaps using 2-3 alternating accounts to prevent them from getting suspended?

k4anubhav commented 2 years ago

yes there is, use 2-3 alternating accounts, you can also use 2-3 proxies/diff ips as well

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago

How long should these 2-3 alternating accounts alternate? 3 hours each? 2 hours?

k4anubhav commented 2 years ago

Well, I haven't tested much, but I would prefer to use the alternate account for every alternating request.

it will help to prevent a ban from peaks.

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago

I don't know if that would work because our community is large and uses the BOT quite often. Hence, if we alternate per question it would just seem like we ran all the bot at once. Wouldn't you agree?

k4anubhav commented 2 years ago

but according to me, Chegg bans when there is a pretty huge spike in usage or if you ask more than x question in a day.

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago

Can i ask how big your server is or how many questions your server asks in a day?

k4anubhav commented 2 years ago

no

arkanalexei commented 2 years ago
