Help with PRAW ratelimit
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I keep hitting the rate limit when trying to make comments, but I don't think I am making enough comments to be reaching the limit--I think I am misunderstanding how the limit works? I have tried reading through previous posts about this, but I am still confused. I am only using the Comment.reply() function, no edits, deletes, &c.

Here is the error I keep getting:

RATELIMIT: "Looks like you've been doing that a lot. Take a break for <x> minutes before trying again." on field 'ratelimit'

where <x> is anywhere from 9 to 1.

As best I can tell (I am not properly tracking these metrics), an appropriate comment comes up about every couple minutes--shouldn't I be able to make like 30 requests per minute or something? I thought I would get nowhere close to this, but clearly I am missing something. On top of that, I thought PRAW was able to handle rate issues for me.

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
