Hi team
Is there any update to this report?

Hi,

Actually, we *do* have a rate limiter for those kind of requests. I don't know how you tested it, but your report states that you didn't reach that limit during your tests, and is therefore invalid.

Regards,

Hi
Tell me how much the limit is because I reached more than 130 successful requests, the bugs bounty the bug is approved after you reach more than 100 successful requests.
I'm going to send a video explaining this, and I hope to reopen the report so that this information doesn't leak to the public.

These pictures show the success of the operation, and you can confirm by repeating the test

Thanks for your screenshots.

Requests are limited to 10 per minute. According to our logs, your 130 requests ramped over 24 minutes. It's far from a DDoS attack nor a mailbox bombing (10 mails per minute can be at most annoying).

We confirm this report as invalid.

Best,

=========10 mails per minute can be at most annoying)=========

Surely this is annoying
The number of messages that arrived was 230, not 130
This causes inconvenience to users and causes financial losses to the company
