createDocument API rate limits: Can it be overriden?
Hello,
is it possible to override the rate limits on some apis such as document creation? The doc says This endpoint is limited to 120 requests in every 1 minutes per IP address, I wonder if it's possible to change this number? Thanks
TL;DR
The user wants to know if it's possible to override the rate limits for the createDocument API. The current limit is set to 120 requests per minute per IP address. The user provides links to GitHub issues related to this topic. One suggestion is to disable the `_APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE` option in the `.env` file. The final response confirms that it's possible to change the rate limit by disabling the mentioned option. 
Are you using a self hosting instance?
Yes
disable _APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE in your .env file
Hmm, so it's either disabled or enabled with 120 limits?
Yes, that is the option at the moment you can check this issues:

Thank you guys for the information, I hope this happens in a future release, I will close this post now
