It came to my attention that the API limit of 100 calls per minute is not working as documented: per user.
On the official documentation, it's stated as 100 calls per minute per user. This was confirmed 2 years ago in a B&I post.
On the wiki, it's stated as 100 calls per minute per key. This was apparently confirmed by splent recently through a chat by someone.
An experiment I made (those keys are already deleted) gives very inconsistent results, but I can get it to go over the 100 limit by using 4 keys of my own. Here I make 200 calls in 30 seconds. All my other keys are paused and shouldn't interfere with my limit.
One time I've seen it only fail 3 calls, another time it failed 20 of time and other times it fails the expected 100.
