I’ve been working on a chat monitoring service, currently I’m opening a new connection for each channel to monitor, since this is seemingly the only way to know the scope of messages from ‘jtv’.
Does anyone know if the chat message limit is for each IP, each connection or each user?
If you send more than 20 commands or messages to the server within a 30 second period, you will get locked out for 8 hours automatically.
But there is no specification for “you”. I know that a user gets banned (IP ban included I think) if you send it all from one authenticated user, but what happens if I have multiple authenticated users sending messages via one IP?
Great! So that means if my users authorize chat, my server can connect to IRC with their tokens simultaneously, as long as each connected token doesn’t exceed the message limit.
