Rate limited

[ahadjithoma]

I am getting a message info: Rate limited, will retry 9 seconds and i don't know where it comes from. I'm running hubot in Slack and deployed locally.

Any ideas?

Running the following command indicates its coming from the slack/client module:

grep -R "Rate limited, will retry" *

node_modules/@slack/client/lib/clients/transports/call-transport.js: client.logger('info', 'Rate limited, will retry %s seconds', headerSecs);

We started seeing that error a lot recently and for us its related to this issue: slackapi/hubot-slack#420

If you do a lot of call's to robot.brain.set you'll run into the issue reported above. The source of the problem is in the file hubot-slack/src/bot.coffee, line 58.

At least for us that's why we are seeing that same rate limit error. Slack says they are trying to get more priority on that open issue.

thanks for that command!

For future Googlers, I found this searching for info: Rate limited, will retry 10 seconds, and I had several calls to robot.brain.set in my code. This issue was fixed in hubot-slack v4.4.0, and upgrading to that version fixed the issue for me. I no longer have my log spammed with timeout messages and my bot no longer randomly stops responding to requests.

That's weird. I am using v.4.5.5 and receiving that console log when initiating my bot. Any ideas?

API_PAGE_SIZE=1000 can reduce the messages, DISABLE_USER_SYNC=true will fix.
