Exceeding Rate Limit Abnormally about 3ds-rpc HOT 8 CLOSED

Right now, the problem happens again.

According to the server's logs, this is only happening to some users. I'm still unaware of why as of yet.

I believe the reason why would be flask_limiter.util.get_remote_address() returning 127.0.0.1 (have not yet tested to prove), which means that all user-specific IP ratelimits get grouped together for all users using the service, therefore if there is more than one person using the app at any one time, then the rate limit barrier easily gets hit quickly.

Can confirm – all remote addresses lump to 127.0.0.1.

An upgrade to flask-limiter==3.1.0 did not work.

I've figured out the issue and a fix will be committed shortly. The server was, indeed, failing to receive the proper remote addresses of users due to some proxy thing that I pretty much died inside trying to work out, but a phone call and a minor alteration to my nginx file later and it's working now, so that's all that matters, I suppose.
I have been conscious for over sixteen hours now. This should be considered a crime.

Still happening for me with 1.0

This particular issue refers to a problem in which flask limiter (or, as better aptly described, my server) would aggregate all users into one IP, causing almost instantaneous rate limits.

Your problem is likely that you have multiple instances of the app open at once. I suggest checking your system tray and quitting them before waiting for a minute and re-opening the app a singular time.

Please update me if this is not the case, however.
