discord imposes a rate limit for API calls

[beadon]

I am getting an error in the discord client (not pidgin) that my client has reached a rate limit for accessing the discord APIs.

This only occurred when I enabled the discord plugin for Pidgin, and loaded it for the first time.

Is rate limiting honored by purple-discord ? If not, is this a new feature request ?

To further troubleshoot this problem, where should one go to see the error logs for API connections ?

As mentioned in another thread, I believe this is the cause of missing history for messages/ channels. I am seeing history for some things, but not others. Is there a feature in development to perform this rate limiting ? (perhaps discord servers report the acceptable rate limit?)

It "just happens" from time to time. Usually when my discord client starts acting up I just disconnect Pidgin for a while (usually at most an hour helps settle things) and then all is well again.

I know, not really a fix or something, but I don't know of any limits either so it would be hard to implement something like this. Remeber, the API is not public really.

I decided to take matters into my own hands.
