R++   Awesome guy and he'll treat you fairly!

I’m trying to code my own throttling system for making calls to the api as responsibly as possible. Can anyone clarify if torn uses a FIXED or SLIDING window for determining rate limit?

If FIXED, does that mean 100 requests within the server’s current minute? Does the limit reset immediately at the next server minute increment?

If SLIDING, does the server look back at the past 60 seconds and count total requests during that period?

Or is it some other way of calculating?

Just curious, I had only 10 days left on my Psychology Bachelor's degree when the new Scamming crime was added three days ago.  Since it included another new psych course, will my Bachelor's benefit still apply, or will I need to complete the added Interpersonal Dynamics course first?

Wondering if anyone has experienced this scenario.  I guess I'll find out in another week!

Thanks Glasnost. I built using a sliding window approach, but if it’s using a fixed window based on current server minute, my code will still be fine (although probably throttling more than needed). Appreciate the confirmation

Los Angeles, California!!

Thanks @Splent!

Thanks Ahmet & Bogie.   Thinking about it more, you must keep the benefit, since everyone here who already had the Psych degree wouldn't just lose it because of the new course.  Should have thought this through before posting!

Yes, I have columns that show chain bonus and respect earned separately.  Also a total combined score to verify vs the offical reports

Thanks so much Omanpx. I'd be honored to share my google sheet and app script with you! I had a previous report that allowed us to choose whether to pay for assists or to adjust a fixed price for non war hits (I hate calling them outside hits but that's what everyone calls them).

What are your thoughts about using the FF avg as a multiplier on the weighted score?  We used that to discourage higher levels spamming low value targets to stack hits 

Hoping you all can help me with the best method to calculate RW payouts.  I'm using the API to call the attack details from our war start and end times and I'm including all the data returned to build our faction reports.  My data objects include both mine and the enemy faction details....  we want to evaluate score bleed and the respect the opposing faction earned by farming our members. 

I'd like to learn if there is an optimized formula to calc payouts? I'm currently using

((2*war hits+1.5*assists+0.5*losses +0.5*interupts+1*non war hits) *  FFaverage)+retals  

to create a weighted score. Then distributing net payout based on this weighted score. 

I'd very much like to hear how you calculate payouts. Or if there are flaws with the formula I'm using?

I appreciate your insight and comments!
