Hey @sam, could you point me to where I can disable the global admin api limit? I have a script to pull response times that requires getting all the topics in a timeframe and then for each topic, getting all of the posts for the topic, and I keep running into the rate limiting (`You’ve performed this action too many times. Please wait 6 seconds before trying again.'`).

Apologies if this old thread i dug up is now really out of date 😃
