Thanks for sharing, this is surprising as the rate-limit should be per IP :/ Investigating.

Should be good now.
Thanks! It’s a small world on HN haha. What was the issue? If you don’t mind me asking
We were experimenting some rate limiting settings and the load balancer IP in front of the hn cluster wasn't excluded, both features haven't been mixed before (doesn't make much sense to rate limit a search cluster behind a load balancer).
Sure thing, we’re experimenting with some Load-Balancing heuristics and instrumentations, and it looks it got rate-limited by the engine who got surprised all traffic was coming from a single IP /o\
