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
Yes, I know those, but non-bot users are blocked after 9 quick edits no matter how high maxlag and median lag are at the moment. There seems to be a separate mechanism for this.
I believe that is not even only for a single user. I had a workshop a couple of weeks ago where I was training in how to use the tool Autolist to edit. With 10 people in the room this error message were being shown long before anyone of them had made 9 edits.
