Some of my users encounter a rate limit with the default provider (nominatim) that makes them wait one minute before trying again. Weirdly, I don’t come across any kind of limit. See: [The location field in profile is kind of broken - Forum Feedback - Unicyclist.com](https://unicyclist.com/t/the-location-field-in-profile-is-kind-of-broken/272949) 1. Any idea why I don’t encounter any limit whereas some users encounter it? I tried writing long locations’ names while typing fast. 2. What would be your second choice for the **location\_geocoding\_provider** setting (for a free usage)? 3. What’s the **location\_geocoding\_debounce** setting? * * * I see that in nominatim’s [usage policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) that “ **Auto-complete search** This is not yet supported by Nominatim and you must not implement such a service on the client side using the API.” There is no auto-completion in the location button on a new topic, but there is one in the custom user field: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/b/0bdb8d4e18619ed307b3c75e1507557b53ec6c83.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/1/61cb1d20d2d11d1b6a1df6f820fbae3f6a443ac8.png) ![chrome_tOtNSZ2dXy](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/c/2c9091b1541cc35b6f20027acc1e14a50eae37bf.gif) 1. Is this a forbidden usage? 🤔 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742)._
