Have there been any changes since the May twitch patch for the chat limitations? The current limit of 20 commands/messages every 30 seconds is about one command in queue every 1.4 seconds. That doesn’t work for a bot running in dozens or hundreds of channels.
Moobot and Nightbot both run on many channels and I doubt that they queue all channel commands/messages and process them one at a time every 1.4 seconds. How are they getting past this limit?
Also, I think (Not sure.) that those 100c/.5m is per channel. And not in general. Else it’s a little hard to get it accurate (The bot’s not a mod EVERY where.).
From my personal bot service I can say that I think I would have been repeatedly gbanned if the limit was global and not local to the bot. Nevertheless, I am still quite unsure about it and would also like an official statement.
I have a question regarding this 100 message/30 second limit. I have noticed that sometimes the Mod Icons in chat are not appearing briefly and that the “+o” and “-o” modes from the IRC chat. Do these temporary loss of moderation powers also cause a drop of the moderator message limit back to 20m/30sec? Thank you for any information regarding this detail.
