Hey nostr:npub16jzr7npgp2a684pasnkhjf9j2e7hc9n0teefskulqmf42cqmt4uqwszk52 , we're paying relay customers, but I think Orangepill.dev relays are rate limiting our IP. Guessing it is due to this being a bot that posts trivia questions every few hours? This bot and nostr:npub1uwsqvds08e9pnvlrpe0dyvkkphrza8rn3hdwsa6hkuumw5msgupsdg54fz also are paying customers. I can switch to a VPN and see that we're no longer being blocked and then turn it off and be blocked again.

Hey! Thanks for getting in touch with me on this. I will look into what is causing the rate limits for the bots. To help me out with metrics what’s the frequency of posts that these bots make? I will try to add their pubkeys to the whitelist.
During most days they automatically post on average every 2-3 hours. When they post a question it is usually 3 messages back to back within 5 minutes. The first announces the next round is about to begin. The second is the question itself and is timed. The third announces who won sats. Also, if someone requests another question, the bots can post more often but this isn't happening much lately. Only other time posts happen more often is if myself (@son_of_vin) is testing updates or reported errors. Thanks!
Thank you for your inputs. I have bumped kind 1 and kind 7 events rate limits by a bit and have whitelisted the pubeys to the Trivia bot accounts. The relay is rebooted so they should go into effect immediately.
Let me know if this issue persists. If it does I may have to discuss it with the amazing team at Nostream.
