Clarification Needed Regarding Reddit API's Rate Limiting Policies

Post Body

Hello everyone,
I'm currently developing an app using the Reddit API and have a few questions regarding the rate limits. I understand that the general limit is 60 requests per minute for unauthenticated requests and 600 requests per 10 minutes for authenticated ones.
However, I am a bit confused about how these limits apply when my application is used by multiple users. Specifically, does the rate limit apply to each individual user who has authorized my app, or is it a cumulative limit for my entire application?
Despite ensuring that I am not making more than 60 requests per minute, I'm still encountering rate limit issues. I'm using OAuth2 for user authentication.
Any guidance or advice on how to troubleshoot and handle these rate limits effectively would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
