I'm in the same situation. I don't think this would be permanent or anything, but this whole restriction policy is quite annoying to be honest. I understand the effort to reduce the risk from the "real" crawling attempts, but this really prevents us from using the website within absolutelly normal range. Also, I don't like the fact that the message shown is just false and doesn't even assume that we just want to enjoy the open hacking phase for a few hours. If they really didn't like us opening $$$100$$$ submissions in an hour, the message should rather say "please don't open more than 100 submissions within an hour, it's too much of a burden for our server" or something.

This is getting ridiculous. Around 5 hours ago, I resumed to look for some more submissions to hack and opened maybe like 50 pages, very slowly, in like 2 hours. You know what happened? They flagged me again, and this time it has been 3 hours but the flag is still there, and every time I try to open a submission page I get forced to log out.

Is the system trying to keep increasing punishment level and eventually do a perm ban or what? Just because I tried to do what is normally done during an open hacking phase? And why is there STILL no single announcement regarding all this from the admins?

I also get this message(even twice).What I only did is just make tle hacks on problem D.

This is so ridiculous that it disturbs people who genuinely want to reinforce the test cases of the questions. :(

I think codefoces teams should tell us why our acouunt is flagged.

If they thought the frequency is to high, they shound tell me "Don't make to many submissions in one hours(or ten minutes) but shouldn't in this way.

I was opening a lot of accepted solutions to problem D, as I had already managed to hack a solution.

First mistake. Karma.

This has happened to me as well. It's just a rate limit
