Strange. When I view the conf file the new limit is already set. So the YAML update worked:

`max_admin_api_reqs_per_key_per_minute = '6000'`

But it doesn’t seem to work. There’s still a 60 per minute limitation. When I throttle requests to 60 per minute, most go through but due to jitter a few still trigger the rate limiter:

```plaintext
{'success': True, 'active': True, 'message': 'Your account is activated and ready to use.', 'user_id': 3596}
{'success': False, 'message': ' New registrations are not allowed from your IP address (maximum limit reached). Contact a staff member.', 'errors': {'ip_address': ['New registrations are not allowed from your IP address (maximum limit reached). Contact a staff member.']}, 'values': {'name': None, 'username': 'asdfd', 'email': 'user@domain.com'}, 'is_developer': False}
{'success': True, 'active': True, 'message': 'Your account is activated and ready to use.', 'user_id': 3597}

```
