All we can do have been done.
- [x] identifying issue : it's a Commons API ratelimit rule for new users. They are limited to 380 uploads per 72mins.
- [x] documenting the issue : see [[ https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:Ratelimit | LinguaLibre:Ratelimit ]] = [[ https://lingualibre.org/wiki/LinguaLibre:User_rights | LinguaLibre:User_rights ]]
- [x] documenting workaround : same page.
Next to do
- [ ] Explore possibility for our upload flow OAUTH to have higher ratelimits on Commons.
- [ ] Dev better error message.
Also do:
- [ ] Mentor emerging communities better. Warn them about the 380 limit, mentor them to request higher rights on Commons.
- [ ]

If this is the good explanation, is it possible to think about a workaround or at least a clearer error message.
