MessagingService Limitations

[Send_Scripts (Scripty)]

My game uses MessagingService heavily to transfer lobby information to other servers but I am having problems with exceeding the limitations

It states on the MessagingService wiki that you are allowed:

I appear to be breaching this limit as seen here:

According to the limitations I am allowed (150 + 60) * (Players in game server) per minute

But I am only PublishingAsync approx 10-30 times per minute in each server, which leads me to believe that these limitations apply to the entire universe? I’m not quite sure why we are breaching these limits but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate a reply!

Thanks

I’m bumping this as well, this is definitely a problem for me.

I’ve since moved on from MessagingService as it’s virtually useless due to it’s limitations, I found these posts of similar problem:

MessagingService 'Messages received for entire game' limit is incorrect

@Seranok The wiki states the current limit for ‘Messages received for entire game’ is (100 + 50 * number of servers) per minute. Instead, it appears the game does not increase this budget for each additional server, so the budget instead remains at (100 + 0) per minute You can replicate the bug with the following code for one-player servers. With two players it runs fine, however as soon as you go above it begins throttling and throwing the error The rate of publish requests exceeds the allowe…

MessagingService quota: why are my publications throttled?

Hi there! Our publications to MessagingService are getting throttled, but I don’t understand the reason. In our game, we use MessagingService to send out 1 message to a single topic per 5 seconds per server. The messages are well under 1 Kb. This worked fine, until we get about 10 servers, and we start getting warnings that the rate of messaging exceeds the limit, please retry after X seconds. As our number of servers climbs a bit futher to 15-20, publishing breaks down even further and many…

Completely useless service

Hmm. Interesting. I just implemented it for my ban system but since it seems to be that bad, I’ll just use a loop with datastore instead.

Haha, it’s not completely useless, but some of the use cases that might come to mind indeed would not scale appropriately, in case your game becomes big… That would apply even if there wasn’t an explicit quota (purposely preventing anyone from making this mistake).
