I'm trying to delete documents in bulk, but it's limited to 25 documents, why? In the documentation it says that the request is up to 60 deletions per minute.
I can do mass document creation and update normally, but not deletion.

Rate limiting

Why?

Preventing anyone abusing your app

In docs:
Rate Limits This endpoint is limited to 60 requests in every 1 minutes per IP address, method and user account. We use rate limits to avoid service abuse by users and as a security practice. Learn more about rate limiting.

I found the solution. And reading the source code, I saw that there is a limit to list the documents, I could change the source code or make a Query.limit().

@D5 Thank you for your patience.

[Solved] Delete document are limited to 25 docs?

@Binho.dev π I don't recommend such approach, that's basically disabling/extending rate limiting

I think the best solution is making a function to delete the documents

@D5 So, I created a function for this, in fact I had already created it, but I was limiting up to 25 documents, but with Query.limit() I solved the problem.

You need to setup API key in the function. With that, you should not have any problem. Don't confuse coding functions client-sided with appwrite functions

I created a API Rest, it connects with Appwrite, but I needed a route that could make the mass deletion of documents at special times, Iβm doing this on the server side.

@D5 Working fine!

So you made it gradually?

Mass deletion does not always occur, but once a month. Now the way Iβm deleting yes, itβs deleting one file at a time. I list the amount of files in a collection and then consequently they are deleted.
