Each visitor has a bucket of 60 requests they can fire against the server (defined by `visitor-request-limit-burst`).
After the 60, new requests will encounter a `429 Too Many Requests` response. The visitor request bucket is refilled at a rate of one
request every 10s (defined by `visitor-request-limit-replenish`)
request every 5s (defined by `visitor-request-limit-replenish`)
* `visitor-request-limit-burst` is the initial bucket of requests each visitor has. This defaults to 60.
* `visitor-request-limit-replenish` is the rate at which the bucket is refilled (one request per x). Defaults to 10s.
* `visitor-request-limit-replenish` is the rate at which the bucket is refilled (one request per x). Defaults to 5s.
* `visitor-request-limit-exempt-hosts` is a comma-separated list of hostnames and IPs to be exempt from request rate
limiting; hostnames are resolved at the time the server is started. Defaults to an empty list.
### Attachment limits

are configurable via the server side [rate limiting settings](config.md#rate-limiting). Most of these limits you won't run into,
but just in case, let's list them all:
| Limit | Description |
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Message length** | Each message can be up to 4,096 bytes long. Longer messages are treated as [attachments](#attachments). |
| **Requests** | By default, the server is configured to allow 60 requests per visitor at once, and then refills the your allowed requests bucket at a rate of one request per 10 seconds. |
| **E-mails** | By default, the server is configured to allow sending 16 e-mails per visitor at once, and then refills the your allowed e-mail bucket at a rate of one per hour. |
| **Subscription limit** | By default, the server allows each visitor to keep 30 connections to the server open. |
| **Attachment size limit** | By default, the server allows attachments up to 15 MB in size, up to 100 MB in total per visitor and up to 5 GB across all visitors. |
| **Attachment expiry** | By default, the server deletes attachments after 3 hours and thereby frees up space from the total visitor attachment limit. |
| **Attachment bandwidth** | By default, the server allows 500 MB of GET/PUT/POST traffic for attachments per visitor in a 24 hour period. Traffic exceeding that is rejected. |
| **Total number of topics** | By default, the server is configured to allow 15,000 topics. The ntfy.sh server has higher limits though. |
