Following up from IRC. Hello!
I run a public build service which has Arch Linux support and uses yay to install AUR packages when requested. I recently had some users running up against the AUR rate limit.
The current rate limit window (1 day) seems a bit strict. Would it be possible to apply the rate limit hourly? Today it's 4000 requests per day, but ~166 requests per hour would be a similar load on the server but a bit more forgiving, users would only have to wait an hour before attempting their builds again.
The issue here seems to be that yay queries for provides in the AUR. Which causes excsessive requests to be made. [1] [1] https://builds.sr.ht/~delthas/job/17157
