Hi, I have a few questions. I am preparing an application to manage tournaments on lichess (create, delete, remind about tournaments, etc.). I get 429 when trying to create swiss. Do I also get 429 when exceeding the limit of created tournaments per day? Does such a limit exist? (Or should I get 400 in this case) How long should I wait before making another request? Is there a difference in the limits for a normal account/bot account?
Regards Adam

#

are u sure you are not making the requests simultaneously?

#

Anyway, 1 min cooldown for 429s with exponential backoffs should be good enough

let's ask the code

#

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/617c1839acffe792b41259a8bb7bce3446b36a0d/app/controllers/Tournament.scala#L230-L240

#

at the cost of 20 credits per tournament, you can make 12 per day, or 48 if they're private

#

how many tournaments per day do you need?
