Getting rate limit

[kkhanal18]

Getting rate limit error when testing API. So the limit is 100 per day? Is there way to bypass?

atproto_client.exceptions.RequestException: Response(
    success=False,
    status_code=429,
    content=XrpcError(error="RateLimitExceeded", message="Rate Limit Exceeded"),
    headers={
        "Date": "Sat, 14 Sep 2024 16:45:53 GMT",

        "RateLimit-Policy": "100;w=86400",
        "ETag": 'W/"3d-egyFOcXCrKQFzoI7522/4+PpxIk"',

    },
)

if your atproto_client calls PDS API, you can bypass ratelimit by self hosting your own PDS
https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds with PDS_RATE_LIMITS_ENABLED=false

atproto/packages/pds/src/config/env.ts

Lines 97 to 99 in 319aa7c

	rateLimitsEnabled: envBool('PDS_RATE_LIMITS_ENABLED'),
	rateLimitBypassKey: envStr('PDS_RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS_KEY'),
	rateLimitBypassIps: envList('PDS_RATE_LIMIT_BYPASS_IPS'),

but if you are testing other component API, it may be hard to bypass ratelimit.

I'm getting this too - why is the limit 100/day when in the docs I see a limit of 3000 every 5 minutes? All I'm using is login, uploadBlob, and post.

After some more searching it looks like this is because they want us to use JWT tokens instead of logging the agent in every time. I've figured out how to save and refresh my token - is there a simple way of getting the Atproto/BskyAgent to use the token instead of the agent.login(...) from the tutorials? I'd like to use the agent.uploadBlob and agent.post calls I've already written instead of re-writing those as fetchs. I've tried a few things but it seems to be ignoring any headers I try and set in the constructor or those I set by configuring a static fetch handler.

Ok I can confirm in my case it was because of the login/createSession limits and switching to tokens I haven't hit any rate limits. Here's the post that clued me in and links to a php implementation https://bsky.app/profile/olafmoriarty.bsky.social/post/3l3rq7xzoql2o
I read elsewhere that access tokens last 2 hours and refresh tokens 2 months, but I don't know if those numbers are accurate.

Just wanted to throw this in here for when people stumble across the same issue
