Hi,
Users without a bot flag will quickly receive an error when trying to make too many edits in a row [1]. I noticed that I am getting this even when editing at a rate of 0.5 edits/second. What is permissible there? I would like to use this as a default throttling in WDTK.
Moreover, when editing as a bot, this limit does not apply. Is there a recommended edit rate for bots? Of course there is the dispatch statistics, but I guess it is better to avoid pushing this to a high value before stopping.
All I could find is the maxlag and dispatch lag here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bots#Approval_process
