Describe the current behavior

I am using peertube-cli to do some bulk video uploads. This caused 429 rate limit exceeded errors for me.

Looking at the logs and source, it seems that after the upload the status is polled to see when the upload is completed. These are spaced 50ms apart, which mean that the default 50 requests / 10s (200ms / request) can be violated. Edit: Seems incorrect, see first comment.

Here's the loop: github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube@b1ed99d964/packages/server-commands/src/videos/videos-command.ts (L481-L485)

Steps to reproduce

  • Install a default docker-based peertube
  • Upload a bunch of files in succession:
❯ for file in *.ts; do peertube-cli upload --video-name "$file" --file "$(pwd)/$file"; done
Uploading 2026-01-23_12-59-44.ts video...                                                             
Video 2026-01-23_12-59-44.ts uploaded.                                                                
Uploading 2026-01-23_13-05-46.ts video...                                                             
Video 2026-01-23_13-05-46.ts uploaded.                                                                
Uploading 2026-01-23_14-06-48.ts video...                                                             
Video 2026-01-23_14-06-48.ts uploaded.                                                                
Cannot upload video: Expected status 200, got 429.                      
The server responded: "Too many requests, please try again later.".

This happened for me with TS files about 500-700MB in size.

From the server log from the first upload:

Describe the expected behavior

Files should just upload.

Additional information

I would suggest fixing this by increasing the delay in the loop. I tried 250ms, which seems to fix the issue for me (at the expense of worst-case 200ms extra latency per video, which seems very acceptable).

Edit: Seems incorrect, see first comment.

Hm, even with the 250ms wait, I still got some sporadic 429 responses, but it seems now on the login, so maybe I'm triggering the log rate limit now:

^[[2Kpeertube-1  | [televisie.planb.coop:443] 2026-02-01 20:59:29.095 info: 2a10:3781:3fba:0:ec7:28ce:d420:1fa6 - - [01/Feb/2026:20:59:29 +0000] "GET /api/v1/oauth-clients/local HTTP/1.1" 200 99 "-" "-"
[2Kpeertube-1  | [televisie.planb.coop:443] 2026-02-01 20:59:29.165 info: 2a10:3781:3fba:0:ec7:28ce:d420:1fa6 - - [01/Feb/2026:20:59:29 +0000] "POST /api/v1/users/token HTTP/1.1" 429 42 "-" "-"

In fact, looking back at my original log, the rate limit was on /api/v1/oauth-clients/local which probably means I was triggering the log rate limit all the time. And increasing the wait time did not actually help (I think it was more related to how soon I started test attempts after each other, since the login limit is 15/5min).

So I guess my suggested fix will not help. Instead, I can imagine a fix is either:

  1. On a rate limit, wait a while and retry, or
  2. Provide some better feedback to the user, indicating that a rate limit is tripped and provide some guidance on which?

Hello,

Please increase rate limits on the server: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L20

Thanks, I had actually raised the limit already to doublecheck that it was indeed the login rate limit that was triggered (forgot to mention that in my previous comment). Even though that is the most proper fix, I could still think that peertube-cli could be improved to make the experience more streamlined, in the two ways of the previous comment.

Maybe this issue could be reopened for that, but I can also imagine that this is not something that has any priority and leaving it closed is also fine.
