Documentation: Confusion about ratelimit
See original GitHub issueI’ve been confused about PRAW ratelimits, have my long-running script break by exceptions when PRAW it says it handles them. In this reddit thread I discuss this, and someone pointed me to this documentation, which states:
Controls the maximum amount of seconds PRAW will capture ratelimits returned in JSON data. Because this can be as high as 10 minutes, only ratelimits of up to 5 seconds are captured and waited on by default. Should be a number representing the amount of seconds to sleep.
One confusion: is there a difference between a pause upon receiving a Reddit warning and the wait between each request? I’m not confident in my understanding, but if the following is correct I think it’d be an improvement over the current prose:
ratelimit_seconds: The number of seconds PRAW will silently sleep after Reddit returns a warning with a time to pause. The default is 5 seconds; Reddit might suggest as many as 600 seconds. Warnings that exceed the specified/default value triggerpraw.exceptions.RedditAPIException.
