I asked this question about 2 months ago but I think it changed. My question is how many messages can a moderator send intill he/she gets global banned. A few months ago it was 20msg in 30sec. Some people told me now its 100msg in 60sec. has this changed?

[image] Twitch Chat (from a Twitch Dev) Chat and IRC Our code to deal with abuse (rate-limiting, etc) is subject to change periodically, but we should definitely have some better docs. I think it may be useful for us create a github chat docs repository specifically focuse…

Oh ok, but is the 20/100 20msg in 100sec? Because today I saw someone that sent over 40+ msg all at once because his bot broke or something and he did not get global banned…

100 messages/commands in 30 seconds for mods+ 20 messages/commands in 30 for regular users Keep in mind if you send 30 messages in a channel where you are a mod and 1 message in a channel where you are not within the same 30 seconds you will be locked out.

And global bans are still 8 hours right?

It was changed to 2 hours a little while ago.

Do sending /ban and /timeouts and joins and parts to channels also go towards the rate limit???

Yes timeout and ban do. Join is a separate limit Parts are free

Commands do NOT count towards the rate limit. That’s at least the last official statement mentioned here . Or was there an update?
