I think the rate limiting is not based on which thread you're active in, but whether the mods have placed a rate limit on you. It's hard to say since it's not very transparent, but it seems the mods here are pretty liberal about dispensing permanent rate limit penalties.

Thanks, the limit seems removed now. With my own submissions I’m never rate limited.
I'm trying to respond to some comments, but since this is not my thread, I'm rate-limited.
> Let's talk about the battery. I've chosen to use a large used lead-acid battery even though Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries beat lead-acid in every metric. I bought the battery second-hand for €100 so that's not a significant investment for a battery. Although it's a bit worn-down and the capacity is reduced, it is still good enough for me to run my computer setup for 10 hours after a full charge. The lead-acid battery also serves another purpose: is a relatively cheap option for me to validate my setup. If it works as intended, I might opt to upgrade to lithium (LiFePO4) at some point."
