Hi, I’m running into a problem where my main site is calling Discourse a lot (since I use [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true), and do the double-ignore blocking, and all that)… and hitting rate limits left and right. ☹

The good news is that the calling site lives on a fixed IP… so is there a way to globally whitelist all API requests from a specific IP, to never trigger rate limiting?

In fact, in general, is there any way to turn off all the rate limiting? I don’t let users have their own API keys so really, I just want my app to be able to call over to Discourse and do anything, any time. The rate limiting is just getting in the way right now.
