how to fix appwrite rate limit exceeded

[elder elk]

Two options:

1. Not sending a huge amount of requests (if needed to make bulk edit, make it through a function)

2. Disabling your appwrite instance rate limiting
   https://appwrite.io/docs/environment-variables#general

Go to your .env file and change the variable called _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE to disabled

Formatted like that: _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE=disabled

[elder elk]

where do i write this _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE=disabled

which env file?

[ivory pawn]

You can edit it in the file called docker-compose.yml

[elder elk]

ohh

can you help me #1109356912622960722 message

[ivory pawn]

Does that solve your problem? 😃

@elder elk

[elder elk]

nope i dont know how to use docker

i dont have clear idea what to do with this _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE=disabled

[ivory pawn]

Yust search for a file called docker -compose.yml in your appwrite installation folder

[elder elk]

i didnt installed docker

[ivory pawn]

Then you're using appwrite cloud, or installed through the appwrite one-click digitalocean installer?

[elder elk]

i am using appwrite cloud

[ivory pawn]

Then you can't disable rate limiting

[elder elk]

ohh

after hosting my app my users may request more than 10 requests

[ivory pawn]

It's only available in appwrite self-hosted. If you need to make bulk for example of documents, then make it through a functions, so users trigger the function and then such function generated the documents, etc

[elder elk]

ohh i got it

my app is related to book pdf notes

making an app for campus Notes

[ivory pawn]

You mean uploading multiple documents then?

[elder elk]

so users request api calls everytime to get access of notes

[elder elk]

no they can only read and download notes from app only i can upload notes

help me out please

[ivory pawn]

You don't make a request for every note, you make a request to get access to a bunch of documents

So that way you'll not be rate-limited

[elder elk]

yes

[ivory pawn]

Also never download if there are 10000 documents, all of them at once

[elder elk]

my app has 5 level of hirerchy to access pdf file like
user>Branch>Year>Semester>Subjects>(pdf of particular subject)
branch can be CSE,IT,ECE,EEE,CIVIL,MECH
Year can be 1,2,3,4
Semester can be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
subjects can be multiple max 10 for each semester

and at the end the pdf will be available for particular subject

[ivory pawn]

Each of them is a collection

And each input is a document

Just imagine like if it was a SQL database (appwrite database is SQL, except API) so every table is a collection and each row is a document

[elder elk]

• users (collection)
  • {userID} (document)
    • branches (subcollection)
      • {branchName} (document)
        • years (subcollection)
          • {yearNumber} (document)
            • semesters (subcollection)
              • {semesterNumber} (document)
                • subjects (subcollection)
                  • {subjectID} (document)
                    • pdfFileUrl: "https://example.com/path/to/file.pdf"

[ivory pawn]

You can't make subcollections

[elder elk]

okay

how do you got this much knowledge about appwrite?

[ivory pawn]

Reading docs and making an app with it

https://appwrite.io/docs

Also seeing appwrite blog

But I have too doubts while structuring data 😅
Not about how to structure it, but more about how to make it be efficient

[elder elk]

ohh
