Low Rate Limit ceiling?
I’ve started work on a basic Discord.js bot, and I’ve hit rate limits twice during the development workflow. I’m not doing anything that I think is particularly outlandish:
- I’ve got 2 events set up:
- the first will just acknowledge that the bot has received a message that “@“s them by reacting with 👀 one time
- the second is just the ready event
- I’ve got two commands set up (both are basic “ping” commands)
Yet I’ve been rate limited twice for 45 minutes in the past 24 hours.
Am I doing something improperly? This seems like a harsh rate limit policy for the few requests being made.

I’m getting a 429 when trying to log in on my personal account
you're using your account token?
I don’t think so, I’m using the bot key
i dont see how your account and bot can be related
I think it’s an IP rate limit, according to their docs
I’m currently responding to this thread via my mobile network, while my home network is IP limited

I suspect I’m hitting the global IP rate limit, but I’m nowhere CLOSE to 50 requests/second
