Hi,

thank you for bringing this up. We are currently working to adjust the limits in a way that will avoid disruption for outliers like this.

Can you give a rough estimate how much traffic that gadget would generate per usage? Hundreds of requests? Thousands? 

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi!

If I read this correctly, user scripts/gadgets such as this one, which marks users that are globally blocked/locked, are also affected. This one (and others I am sure) can generate quite a lot of requests. None of the proposed solutions seem suitable to help with that. What can be done? Is proxying those requests through a toolforge webservice, which requires quite a bit of development effort, the only option?

Best regards,

Count Count
