Too Many Requests on REST API while headers say otherwise

[surli]

Describe the issue

I performed a bunch of requests as an anonymous user on the REST API, it worked properly for a while until I got an HTTP 429: Too Many Requests. So I performed again a request and checked the headers to see how many time I should wait before being able again to request, but I saw that:

  X-RateLimit-Limit: 5000
  X-RateLimit-Remaining: 4865
  X-RateLimit-Reset: 2106

The doc says:

the default configuration limits it to 100 requests per day for anonymous users

but the headers are not returning the same information apparently. So not sure how I could know when I can perform my requests again.

I already tried

Describe the steps you tried to solve the problem yourself.

• I've read and searched the docs and did not find the answer there.
  If you didn’t try already, try to search there what you wrote above.

To Reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Perform 101 REST requests as anonymous user on a weblate instance

Expected behavior

The headers specify that the rate limit is 100, not 5000.

Just tested that on Hosted Weblate, and it correctly reports for unauthenticated request:

x-ratelimit-limit: 100
x-ratelimit-remaining: 99
x-ratelimit-reset: 86400

This is configured in settings, maybe you have changed that?

No I just checked back and I still have the default settings for that.

I checked again on another machine, the first request I made I obtained the same than you, so I ran a script to execute 100 requests, and then I get back the headers I posted first, with the same ERROR 429: Too Many Requests.
