Reddit Posting errors

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to post on a backup reddit account. I use make.com to do the posting for me.

I use an anti detect browser with a 4g proxy.

I keep getting this error every time I run the seneraio and usually get account bans.

[[“RATELIMIT”,“Looks like you’ve been doing that a lot. Take a break for 9 minutes before trying again.”,“ratelimit”]]

I understand this may be an error on reddit side however when I try post manually it seems to work fine. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Also does make.com use reddit API to make posts?

Hi there,

This is a rate limit error and this arises when you are making too many request in a short time or you have consume your limit for the day.

To over come this, you can do 2 things:

  1. Use Sleep module to delay the request (you can use just before the module where issue happens)

  2. To prevent your scenario from failing in case of an error, I would kindly recommend you to read our Introduction to Error Handling document and also to have a look at the List of Directives to manage error handling.

“Break” should help here.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
