[ensembl-dev] About rate limiting and REST service

[Kieron Taylor]

Hi Paolo,

We've discovered a misconfiguration in our servers affecting rest.ensembl.org, which is now fixed. X-RateLimit-Reset should now decrement as you expect. Thank you for trying to respect our limits!

Do let us know if you have other problems with the REST server.

Regards,

Kieron
