for many years i have been connecting to rclone forum using firefox over mullvad proxy server
for the last several days, i am not able to connect to rclone forum when using mullvad proxy server.
anybody else experiencing this issue??
i have tested firefox and mullvad browser, both now fail.
if i disable the proxy and connect direct, then it works.
I was having identical problem just hours ago. Without any proxy on a residential IP.
lol, i guess your new favorite number is 429
as you get 429 with google and 429 with rclone forum
Everyone is trying to limit me 
There is a limit per login per IP and it was 6 per minute. That's the only rate limit I see offhand. I upped it slightly. Can you test?
I don't think that limit was it. Under the covers, there is a policy with Nginx bundled with discourse:
params:
reqs_per_second: 12
burst_per_second: 12
reqs_per_minute: 200
burst_per_minute: 100
conn_per_ip: 20
I'd imagine based on the logs, the shared IPs for a VPN might hitting that limit I guess. I need to dig a little more.
yeah, it is a shared ip, but over the last few days, my machine would have randomly picked a different ip address.
and 3+ years, never had this issue, with the exact same setup.
and in firefox, i must have 20+ tabs open.
this only happens with https://forum.rclone.org
but so far, not happening to https://rclone.org/
Discourse uses a built in Nginx and rate limiting so wouldn't be related to rclone.org as I am pretty sure he runs that off Caddy.
ok, that makes sense.
did you restart the discourse server?
Oh, I was having this just hours ago. Without any proxy on a residential IP.
I think this might be it.
Before opening my issue, I was doing a lot of research, reading through existing issues with a lot of tabs open.
I started working again once I closed all the tabs and backed off for a while.
20+ tabs open is not a lot.
and for sure, that is not the issue.
What about these poll requests?
But yeah, it still won't be anywhere close to 10s of requests per second.
i no longer have the issue after @Animosity022 made some changes...
The NGinx rate limiting should be resolved.
@Animosity022, thanks for the private message and working to fix this.
lol, i felt naked without mullvad
Thanks for fixing it 
Did you up the nginx limits?
I wonder whether the forum is growing out of its VM - maybe we need a bigger one.
I’ll send you a message as it wasn’t super obvious.
limits for logged in requests are a mistake in my opinion.
it drove me away from wikipedia btw. i just read it now and force myself to not fix anything i see wrong.
