Hi dang, my mistake on the diagnosis, then. I thought that because I saw an error message that said " Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly." and after that the edit button was no longer visible for me on my comments. I often access this site through a ProtonVPN connection, so maybe there was some suspicious IP address heuristic involved?

The edit button is still not showing up for me, though. Do you have any idea why that might be or if there's something I can do to fix it?

Edit: Was there a thread-level edit ban or something? Because I can now edit this post.

"Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly" is our little server process saying "help, I only have a single core and I'm out of breath here". If your account were rate limited it would say something like "You're posting too fast, please slow down."

Ah ok, thanks for the prompt reply and I really admire the moderation work you do here!
