Hello. I posted a topic to this forum two days ago and it doesn't appear. Is this the wrong forum? I want to post about a problem sharing a folder with XDrive. I am not a developer, just a common person. Please direct me to the correct forum.
Which forum?

Login rate-limit enforcement is on host. I don't know that they specify how long the limit is applied, and it's subject to change. In my experience it's more than 5 minutes and less than 30 minutes. Developers typically create multiple accounts so if one is rate-limited they can continue testing with another. FWIW, there are services like sandboxes and specially white-listed IP addresses available to business partners.

It's not the number of logins that's significant, it's the rate of logging in. AOL servers gate the rate at which logins can occur from a given IP. If you need to implement a scalable gateway, you'll need to avoid rate limit restrictions. I believe Web AIM APIs have less restrictive rate limits; not sure if that will work for you, but it might be worth looking into. Also some companies have business relationships with AOL to implement gateways.
It kinda makes development difficult
Especially when you're testing a bit of code, you could be logging in and logging out several time per minute. How long does it disable your account for?
Is there a developer sandbox or something?
