On further testing, I really need to prevent running into the rate limit in the first place. With the amount of images embedded, it seems like the IP ends up being blacklisted at least for a couple of days (it was 4 days since I baked on that machine, and it’s still blacklisted). So I can’t just rebake the posts later.
Any idea on how to spread out the baking over a longer timeframe in the first place?
