Option to disable rate limiting for a specific user
turt2live opened this issue · 11 comments
Moderation bots shouldn't be rate limited because they might have to deal with high volumes of spam.
you can poke things into the ratelimit_override table for this.
That should be documented somewhere. It's not even a footnote in the synapse docs.
It would also be nice if this was exposed either in the config, or even better through the admin API.
For a nice TLDR answer for those of us that were a bit confused what exactly to do: you need the full user name (e.g. @mjolnir:my-homeserver.chat) of Mjolnir's user. Then enter synapse's database table that you configured and run:
insert into ratelimit_override values ("@mjolnir:my-homeserver.chat", 0, 0);
where @mjolnir:my-homeserver.chat is the full username mentioned above.
Thanks @refi64! Any chance you'd want to add some of this information to the documentation? I didn't find anywhere off-hand to add it quickly though...

the insert into needs single quotes!
@tulir double quotes in SQL means column, single quotes mean string value
insert into ratelimit_override values ('@mjolnir:my-homeserver.chat', 0, 0);
This worked for me but afterwards the server required a restart for the changes to take place.
This seems to have disabled the rate limiting for sending messages but it hasn't removed the rate limiting for sending invites.
