Noted. Yes this is no good, stopping real users.

Yeah we can turn it down. I will adjust it to require more 429s before a user is blocked now that we're not under attack nearly as often.

I'd guess people opening too many tabs quickly at once is the main 429 trigger.

Thanks!

I have a over 12 hundred vertical tabs but all but a dozen or two are usually "unloaded" or will auto-unload after 15 minutes. So far I don't think me opening too many tabs too quickly triggers it.

But I have another theory that I haven't yet verified. I know that if I've used up too much memory (ie. opening many YouTube videos in tabs without first unloading some or with enough time for them to auto-unload - along side my other programs) my computer will sputter and choke for a few minutes until its digestion settles down. I suspect this turmoil might trip the security, yet I won't even know about it until I interact with SaidIt again - so I might be or reading or writing posts, comments, or articles, or in another room listening to media, or offloading tabs - all off of the SaidIt site for a while, before coming back to discover the blockage. It's a theory - as every time it happens I'm surprised and can't recall anything notable I was just doing.
