I have been using HN daily since I was a teenager. I've seen that message maybe 10 times outside of serious issues in last 15 years. It's strange to me that it happens so frequently for you.

That's difficult to believe to be honest. I get it several times a week.
I get something like that when I try to comment and then upvote too quickly.
I can confirm -- I've only seen this as a form of throttling (i.e. preventing users from sending too frequent HTTP requests).

There's a manual rate limit that can be assigned to your account if you post frequently on controversial topics. Afaik once it's there it stays until removed by a moderator.
I think that's a little different from what I described, but may be what the grandparent comment described.
I've been using hacker news for years and I think I've seen it <10 times too. Maybe our usage patterns differ and I only use HN off peak.

I've been seeing this multiple times a week for the past couple of years. It's gotten worse since 2020. I think that they are preparing to upgrade it, or did upgrade it?
