This is pissing me off to no end. I went on reddit and signed in out of habbit as I have a couple times already and before my account was gone and it wouldnt let me sign in.

Now I did it again and realized that my account actually was undeleted and allowed me to login AND all the posts that I overwrited and deleted with Power Delete Suite where back. I am so pissed right now.

    I’m using PRAW/python and app credentials I made just for me and PRAW seems to have some good rate limit logic built in.

    I also tried Power Delete Suite which seemed to work very quickly and that caused me to worry that I was running afoul of rate limits. My own python script utilizing PRAW works much more slowly but IMO that’s a good thing.

    I’m hoping that once I have a nice list of comment ids I can hit them all via my script/PRAW, however long it takes.

      j0be, the dev for PDS, was informed about the rate limit issue ~2 years ago. I think they recently updated the script to open the discussion page on reddit about it, but there is no limit logic currently.

      My personal experience is that using PDS requires multiple attempts - however, the tool is working until it surpasses the call limit.
