How to increase like rate limit for non admins?

Support

AI-generated summary

Two users, tpsReports and haydenjames, are facing issues with the like rate limit for non-admin users. The current limit allows only 4 likes/unlikes per 60 seconds, after which the user is blocked for 58 seconds. Both users want to increase this limit. tpsReports has tried adjusting various settings in the admin UI and app.yml file, but none have worked. haydenjames specifically wants to double the limit, which is often triggered when using the Top Contributors Sidebar plugin.

I would like for users to be able to like/unlike a post as often as they wish.

When I am logged into my site as an admin, I am able to like/unlike posts as much as I want without limitation. However, when I am logged in as a non-admin user, I can only like or unlike a post up to 4 times per 60 seconds. On the 5th like or unlike in 60 seconds, the POST request to the server fails, and a modal is displayed which reads “You’ve performed this action too many times. Please wait 58 seconds before trying again.”

None of the changes I make in the admin UI seem to solve this issue. My app.yml changes from the defaults are as follows:

DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_MODE: none
DISCOURSE_MAX_USER_API_REQS_PER_MINUTE: 100000
DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_PER_10_SECONDS: 10000

DISCOURSE_MAX_ADMIN_API_REQS_PER_MINUTE: 9999999
DISCOURSE_MAX_ADMIN_API_REQS_PER_KEY_PER_MINUTE: 9999999
DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_PER_MINUTE: 9999999
DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_PER_DAY: 9999999

Is there any UI setting or env variable I can set that would avoid throttling likes for any users? If not, where in the codebase is this controlled so that I can make the necessary adjustment?

I’ve been searching the forums for this as well. Ever since adding this plugin, Top Contributors Sidebar I’ve been getting occasional of Error code: id_10_secs_limit.

I would like to double the limit. Please let me know if this is best as a new thread. Just didn’t want to add more threads if not needed.
