What does the "Close To Rate Limit" message mean?

What does this mean?

Warning: Close to rate-limit soft threshold: App requests (SPKNY2IJZR23YH6Z)

That was a warning message, for our benefit rather than yours - it means your app was performing a lot of server operations in a short space of time. If you haven’t actually been hammering our servers with lots of simultaneous users, this was probably a false alarm. Can I ask what you were doing when that message appeared? (Was your code making lots of server calls, or looping through lots of data tables on the client?) We’ll look through the logs and match up what triggered this

(Don’t worry, triggering this message doesn’t mean anything bad is about to happen!)

I was iterating through a list and using “print” to display them before processing them. The list had 3 items and the warning came after the 2nd one was printed. Removing the print removed the warning.

I think this was the code (client side) -

for c in row['Codecs']:
      print(c['Name'])
      self.label_codecs.text=self.label_codecs.text+c['Name']+" "

EDIT -
Yeah, that was the code block. Here’s the error again (after the 3rd print this time) -

Great, thanks. Ignore those messages for now - I’m pretty sure I know what’s happening behind the scenes :slight_smile:
