ERROR: Limit exceeded ------. You should lower the connections to the tumblr api in Settings->Connections pane.

Describe the bug
I keep getting this error and from that point forward none of the blogs are downloaded. What is the best way to get around this issue? Anyone have a set of Connection Settings that works for a large number of blogs?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Select a few dozen blogs, do SHIFT - ENTER, Start the download.
After about 12-24 blogs the error pops up and nothing else downloads.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• TumblThree version: [e.g. 2.15.1.462]
• OS: [e.g. Windows 10 Pro]
• Browser [e.g. Chrome, Safari, IE, Edge] NA Authentication not working. Default browser is Edge
• Version 129.0.2792.89 (Official build) (64-bit)

Any settings people use that work?

I use the following settings. Maybe they are a bit conservative but I do not get the error that you describe:

Concurrent connections: 1
Concurrent video connections: 1
Concurrent logs: 1
Scan connections: 4
Limit Tumblr API connections: 90 - 60
Limit Tumblr SVC connections: 90 - 60

Thanks for the reply. That is what I have also. What do you have for TimeOut? I have 60, and do you have a bandwidth limitation?

These are my settings:

Trying your settings out. So far it is looking good!!

some of the API calls do not go through the same connection semaphore that limits connections during the "prep" stage of downloads. some downloaders don't share a connection semaphore either. So multiple types of blogs or a lot of blogs all downloading at once can exceed the API limit.

It's reproducible if you set concurrent blogs to a larger number, especially with large blogs.

I attempted to solve that locally and just got deadlocks, so needs more thought.

Limiting the concurrent blogs and current connections to 1 or 2 seem works, but is potentially slower.
