Hi, new member and refugee of the upcoming lemm.ee shut-down.

Tried to import a broken settings json yesterday and since then I get the message to "wait a few minutes" before importing again. Raw XHR response is "rate limit exceeded". It's more than 12 hours and still get the same message.

Not complaining, just wondering what the actual cool down duration is. Would love to import my old community subscriptions all at once.

So the first attempt went through and failed? Never used this before myself but I don't think there's a specific rate limit for it that I am aware of.

Whatever it was, I could import the settings now. Issue resolved.

No ideas for a solution, but welcome!

I had this when I made a new account on sh.itjust.works. Kept trying over a few days and then just manually copied settings over in the end.

Not sure what it was. The same settings file worked on other instances before. But in the end it worked today. I think it really was just after 24 hours.
