0 second post wait?

For post waits like the “wait 0 secs before posting again” it should say “wait less then a second before posting again. (Precise value 1/15 or so)”

Can you screenshot this? Where exactly are you seeing it?

Sure, maybe @neil can double check that code path, we have standard time display handlers.

Ok, it’s here:

if @available_in < 1.minute.to_i
        time_left = I18n.t("rate_limiter.seconds", count: @available_in)

Is “wait less then a second” any better than “wait 0 seconds” though? It’s still silly… Maybe “wait a few seconds”?

Why not just ceil it to 1 second? Seems like only the Flash would be able to detect the inaccuracy.

Or please try again now?

Yes, for my response time that would work. Do you feel there is any chance a retry might happen before the full fraction of a second has elapsed?

Whatever is simplest and gets this off our plate is fine by me. :wink:

I do like @cmwebdev’s suggestion though!

I went with “a few seconds” instead of @cmwebdev’s idea because of how the translation strings are created. Invalidating all those translations isn’t worth it in this case imo.
