[Solved] Delete document are limited to 25 docs?

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.

@Binho.dev 💙 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, I’m 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 I’m deleting yes, it’s deleting one file at a time. I list the amount of files in a collection and then consequently they are deleted.
