Notices from relays need more info. I was getting this from relay.nostr.band and I have to guess what the issue is.

error: too fast, slow down please

- am i making too many requests in a period of time? if so, whats the rate limit

- am i retrieving events on a subscription too fast? is that possible or is that controlled by the relay and i get an eose to determine end?

im guessing its an unpublished rate limit and have added an arbitrary delay. but i wish i knew more of whats going on. relay model is really bad for comms without a standard message protocol or status indication when one side has a policy the other is unaware of.

i would assume that you're most likely submitting too many events in a short time period. which sucks, if you're scrolling and giving a reaction to all of the notes in your feed. you'll hit this hidden rate limit fairly quickly. i get the reason for having it though, to prevent spam.

yeah. i can guess, but without a policy i either knee jerk back request rates or try to discover the policy via trial and error
