Rate-limit in seconds in documentation (opposed as real return on API)

[rodrigondec]

Description

On the documentation about rate-limits#exceeding-a-rate-limit

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits#exceeding-a-rate-limit

the retry_after data on the 429 response is said to be SECONDS.

But it is been returned as MILISECONDS instead of SECONDS.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm using a python script to make multiple requests to a discord webhook.

Expected Behavior

Documentation to point the retry_after data on the 429 response to be MILISECONDS.

Current Behavior

the retry_after data on the 429 response on the documentation is said to be SECONDS.

You are probably using a deprecated API version. Make sure you are using a supported version: either v8, v9, or v10. The documentation only reflects v9.

versioning information: https://discord.dev/reference

Understood. Now the default version is 6!

This version will be always the default? Or will be changed in the future?

"Default" just means that version will be chosen when you don't explicitly specify a version in your URLs. The default version does and will change. They actually initially planned to disable v6 and v7 at the end of this month. Ideally, you should always use the latest version documented, and regularly update your code to reflect new and decommissioned API versions.
