Why? I'm using Firefox browser on a Win11 Desktop. Do I need to remove the Reddit cookie from Firefox?
You're not quite as Reformed as your username suggests.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Try deleting your account. This has fixed the issue for people in the past.
Have you tried wiping your posts, deleting your reddit account, and never looking back?
I haven't yet, but damn, I'm close to it with them shitting on old.reddit
Is your account new or low karma?
I have the account for more than 2 years with 218 karma if that matters. I usually am able to post comment replies successively but not anymore. I deleted my other account with lots of karmas because of this issue on replies/comments/posts.
I think the most likely causes that spamming is associated with your IP or another IP that is on the same network. The cleanest way to avoid Reddit IP based limits is to use a cell phone data connection
Thanks. I am using VPN on my WiFi network. I'll try using my iPhone with cellular connection only.
This is not a reddit support forum lol
That message means Reddit thinks you're sending too many web requests too fast to their servers, so they're slowing you down a bit with a short timeout. Deleting cookies won't help with that.
Do you maybe have any addons in Firefox, or userscripts, which might be accessing Reddit's API? Maybe they're broken and just spamming. Because I don't see how normal browser usage could trigger this. Unless Shreddit is really THAT badly designed. It's a shame I can't recommend Old Reddit anymore, now that they killed access to it for anyone not already using it.
This is also likely to happen if they're using a VPN, since all requests from anyone else using the same VPN server will appear to be coming from the same IP address.
Alternatively, @uten151@thelemmy.club could have a Smart TV with one of the many apps installed that sets up a residential proxy so that other users/bots can use their IP address to appear to be legitimate traffic.
I am using VPN. That's probably causing my issue. Thanks.
Have you tried waiting 5 minutes and trying again?
Preposetrous!
