Forget About Rate Limits

✨ Documentation | 💾 Download | 📃 Source


Annoyed with Discord banning you for exceeding webhook rate limits? Sick of rate limits in general? No problem! Limiter is a module that takes care of rate limits for you using a queue.


Documentation

Limiter:SetRateLimit(rt: number)

rt - Maximum amount of functions that will be executed and leave the queue per minute (Defaults to 5)

Limiter:Add(misc, ...)

misc - Can be a string or a function

If misc is a function, you would use it like this:
Limiter:Add(function()
    print('hi')
end)

If misc is a string, you can choose from one of the available ids:

  • d_webhook - For creating a discord webhook

Example Usage:

Limiter:Add("d_webhook", "webhook_url", "messagetosend")

Limiter:Activate()

Begins running the queue and fires the Limiter.Activated event.

Limiter:Deactivate()

Stops running the queue and fires the Limiter.Deactivated event.

Limiter.Activated

Fired when Limiter:Activate() is called. No parameters.

Limiter.Deactivated

Fired when Limiter:Deactivate() is called. No parameters.

Limiter.Added

Fired when Limiter:Add() is called. No parameters.

Thanks for the resource!
Would have been very useful for me had this been available a few months ago then I wouldn’t have wasted time making my own rate limiter.

If using this for webhooks, you should be using discord’s provided ratelimits instead.

Yes, the normal MESSAGE_CREATE is five messages.

I mean using the returned headers for limiting, having multiple servers spamming messages can get you banned since the limit is not changing across servers with your current method.

HttpService:PostAsync() does not return headers, only a type string status.

RequestAsync returns headers, you might want to switch over to that.
