I think we should somehow display these in the error message. In particular whether you hit the rate limit for the hour, or the day, or the per-user-per-day.
I do think I don’t want to make these rate limits much laxxer. They are currently a guard against someone having a massively undue effect on the ratings on the site by just voting on everything. And I think 100/day is something that normal voting behavior very rarely gets above (my guess is you ran into the hourly rate-limit).
Yeah, when it comes to voting on posts, these limits seem more than fine. And even for comments, this should usually be enough. So it seems I might have found the one edge case where a limit is maybe too strict (i.e. the hourly limit vs. a big comment thread of short comments).
Re: the current error messages, they already say e.g. “too many votes in one hour”, though I guess they could stand to contain the actual applicable limit.
Note, here are our current rate limits:
