How to avoid throttling limits with admin API key?

I can see in /var/log/nginx/access.log that the IP address is correct, so I don’t think Discourse considers all requests to be coming from the same IP.

I can also see user’s IP addresses in the admin.

These are the settings I have modified:

  DISCOURSE_MAX_ADMIN_API_REQS_PER_MINUTE: 1200
  DISCOURSE_MAX_USER_API_REQS_PER_MINUTE: 60
  DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_MODE: none
  DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_PER_10_SECONDS: 100
  DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_PER_MINUTE: 400

EDIT: I just checked the response contents of one of the failed requests and noticed that it mentioned nginx:

<html>\r\n<head><title>429 Too Many Requests</title></head>\r\n<body>\r\n<center><h1>429 Too Many Requests</h1></center>\r\n<hr><center>nginx</center>\r\n</body>\r\n</html>\r\n

I’ll do some more investigating on the topics that mention nginx.
