I can’t connect to Write.As at all for hours, after trying to use my post synchronizer. I guess it hits the rate limits somehow and gets black-holed?

Can you relax them at least a bit? They are RIDICULOUSLY low.

Yes we have rate limits for certain endpoints to prevent abuse. Can you share your username, either here or privately? Then I can generate an Application Key for your account, and you’ll be able to supply that with any API requests and bypass the rate limiting.

Thank you! My username is `Cyberax`.

The API key would be great for now, it will unblock my WriteAs synchronizer. But I want it to be available for all users eventually. Perhaps an API key with relaxed limits could be a Premium feature?

Or is there anything I can help with to make WriteAs more resilient?
