[NIP-01] What should setting a "limit" in multiple REQ filters do? #1368

Closed bezysoftware closed 4 months ago

bezysoftware commented 4 months ago

REQ message can contain multiple filters and each can have a limit specified. What should happen if they differ across filters? Does it even make sense to have a limit per filter, shouldn't there be just one per REQ message?

One count for each filter makes the most sense to me, as in my relay implementation each filter in the array is treated independently.

Agreed, at first I didn't see the usecase for doing a limit per filter. Might be worth elaborating on it in the nip, since I'm not the first one to not get it right. I'll try to do a PR
