Remove or increase limit on rating

[Kovoschiz]

I'm submitting a feature request

Brief Description

Remove or delay "request was throttle" HTTP 429 on https://osmcha.org/api/v1/changesets//set-harmful/ and https://osmcha.org/api/v1/changesets//set-good

What is the motivation / use case for this feature?

Flagging a series of low to single object count changesets for follow-up (I don't care about good/bad)

Other Information / context:

I don't know whether this is for containing server load, or abuse. For the latter, this should be measured by the number of objects affected, not per changeset which can be of any size.

Note that some people spammed pointless comments using osmcha, this limits how much pointless spam they can create.

If they’re spamming, their accounts should get blocked by moderators, surely? The request rate limiting makes osmcha significantly less useful for good-faith users to use to review large (or even medium) numbers of changesets.

Well, it would happen afterwards and meantime they would as much as osmcha/changeset rate limiting would allow.

[Kovoschiz]

Can't giving thumbs and commenting be limited separately?

[matkoniecz]

Both result in changeset comment and trigger the same notification for affected user, right?

[pwithnall]

Giving thumbs does not result in a changeset comment unless the OSMCha user has configured one (‘Review Comments Template’ in their OSMCha account settings). I have mine set to blank (no comment).

[matkoniecz]

Then if thumbs up remain in osmcha - then separate action limit would make sense, probably

I just end up not marking all bad changesets as such when I hit the rate limit.
