Inconsistent throttling #167

Open ElliotRipa opened 1 year ago

ElliotRipa commented 1 year ago

The documentation regarding throttling doesn't seem to actually align with how it works.

It says that there is a default limit of 100 requests per minute per IP, however at one point I managed to make 416 requests in just 32 seconds, whereas sometimes much fewer are possible. While I'm not complaining about getting more requests than what is intended, it would be nice to actually know how many requests are possible for using the API in projects.
