Extreme rate limits on the role create endpoint

Merlin
  • Edited

Discord recently introduced extreme rate limits on the role create endpoint. Bots that hit this limit are unable to create any roles for more than 24 hours. This is obviously an extreme limitation and I don't think that such a huch cooldown is appropriate.

It's also hard to tell when these rate limits occur. Atleast I wasn't able to figure it out.

 

Please remove these extreme rate limits from the create role endpoint. A small cooldown between each role creation is obviously fine.

 

Edit: 

You only seem to get the 24h cooldown after you created more than 250 in less than 48 hours. While this is fine for most bots, this is still a limiting factor for bots like Xenon.

The 24 hour cooldown is far away from the rate limits on any other endpoint and I still don't really get the point of such a huge cooldown.

    i know this was probably meant to stop nuke bots or something but this is a per route ratelimit, and 250 is the max amount of roles you can have on a server. per route as in per server/dm/group. now if this was a global ratelimit then it would kill a whole lot more than Xenon.

    I was just testing my stuff, but it was pretty glitchy. By the attempt I figured it all out, I got rate limited! Now I have to wait for 48 hours just because I did debug
    +1, obviously

    24h and 48h is too much, please reduce the ratelimits, 10 roles per minute would be good enough?
