I wonder which problem may be causing 429 error to appear in production.log.
I’m getting 99% of these in `PostActionsController` context.
```
Processing by PostActionsController#create as */*
Parameters: {"id"=>"706335", "post_action_type_id"=>"2", "flag_topic"=>"false"}
Completed 429 Too Many Requests in 16ms (Views: 0.1ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms | Allocations: 5715)
```
I know that global rate limiting is done in layer above by nginx in the container and these type of errors end in `/shared/standalone/log/var-log/nginx/error.log`..
So the question is under which circumstances this error is thrown in `production.log`?
I’d like to get rid of these if possible..
Do you get some 429 (not caused by rate limiting) in your setups too?

`post_action_type_id = 2` means this is a like. If a user is trying to like a post and they’ve used all their likes for the day, this will generate a 429 error. I’m going to guess that’s what is happening in this instance.

Aha! I suspect that explains the 429s in a site that I manage. It’s a very busy site, and I was afraid that it was hitting some other kind of problem. This is great to know!
