I got blocked from Discord's API for spamming reactions
I got banned from Discord's API. I was joking around with my friends and I began spamming reactions. I have a very high CPS so I reacted to the message a lot of times. After about a minute, I couldn't send messages. I restarted my PC and I saw that all my messages failed to load. All of this happened in the past 30 min. I was very scared because I know a lot of lovely people whom I'll probably never meet again. I can open and log into Discord and my account wasn't disabled. What happened? I went to download the desktop app but I got this error message:
{"code": 0, "message": "You are being blocked from accessing our API temporarily due to exceeding our rate limits frequently. Please read our docs at https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits to prevent this moving forward."}
It did say that I was blocked temporarily. So when will I get unblocked? I never broke any ToS and I am over 13 years and I have my parent's permission to use Discord. I plan to never spam reactions ever again. I created a ticket at support.discord.com and I also mailed abuse@discordapp.com. Will I get unblocked and when will that happen?

For solutions to the problem, I read this article https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/209099387 and did what they told me to do. It helped.

The thing is i just did this with 200CPS and i did not only caused this problem to me but also to other people that were on the chat. Discord needs to fix this somehow so people dont go around spamming reactions and crashing other people discord.
Edit: the only i can currently use discord is using a vpn3 -
I had the same problem spammed reactions and got my api blocked with the same message. The thing I did was to uninstall discord from the system and in %appdata% and %localappdata%, log out then waited some time and installed it again.then log in from discord. Hope it works.

hey don't worry about it this just happened to me and it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get your API unblocked just make sure not to spam emotes or anything like that

Did anyone ever figure out how long the ban was? I've been experiencing a similar issue, except with removing reactions instead of adding them. I can't log in on any device without a VPN.
