Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

When using Cross-Seed (https://github.com/cross-seed/cross-seed) to inject torrents after a download completes, the API search still follows the grab limits and freeleech token set in Prowlarr. If you've reached your grab limit or if the tracker is set to freeleech only, then the search returns nothing.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if the API would allow cross-seed to bypass these limits. It can help to support your trackers that you are still trying to build ratio on.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've read that you can set up a second tracker, one for freeleech and one for cross-seed, however I believe you are still limited by the grab limit setting. I would see cross-seed as something we would all want to bypass those limits on since it does nothing but help yourself and the tracker.

Anything else?

If there is a viable alternative to this request, I am happy to try that instead. Thanks!

Duplicate of #1987

Consider adding duplicated indexer without the Use Freeleech Tokens option enabled.
