    Are you passing X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers to the backend? We had a problem with rate limits due to that recently, the backend was counting all the requests towards the internal IP of lemmy-ui. We fixed it in our repo, but you might be missing that.

    Edit: here’s the code

      Thanks, looks like I’ve got that.

      FWIW, in my case, increasing the value for message in the rate_limit section of lemmy.hjson as well as removing the limit_req_zone parameter in the nginx config did the trick for yesterday’s traffic burst. I’ll probably put them back (or at least reduce them to saner values) once the spike dies down a bit.
