What does the numerical limit below mean? #447

Closed topmask closed 2 years ago

0 = allowed - no limits

1 = allowed or rate limited less restrictive

2 = rate limited more

3 = block completely

This setting is the option of nginx?

Why the limit of others is 1

Note that: 0 = allow 1 = deny

It was built allowing 1 and 2 to limit certain bots more restrictively than others
