Failing to slow down its requests severe

This app continues making requests for feed content on a website, even after the site informs it to wait a while before making any more requests.

Why it's a problem

The excessive traffic makes a website sluggish by hogging the site's resources that can be used for other site visitors. The behavior can also cause websites to exceed their limits, making them more costly to maintain. In fact, one of the main reasons the site tells the app to slow down is usually to avoid an increase in costs.

What it means for users

Websites are likely to block this app from accessing feed content, causing feeds to stop working.

How to fix it

When a website tells this app to hold off on requesting content for a specific amount of time, it should do so.

Requests are unidentifiable severe

Feed requests appear to be associated with this app but can't be accurately identified.

Why it's a problem

A feed reader that can't be identified is often unfortunately used in ways that are severely abusive to a website, either intentionally by malicious users or unintentionally by its users who may be unaware. Since this application is unidentifiable, there's no way to validate its requests and mitigate any potential abuse.

What it means for users

Websites are likely to block or severely limit this app from their feeds, causing feeds to behave unexpectedly or not work at all.

How to fix it

The application or its usage needs to be verified, which will remove any limitations or restrictions, and feeds used in the application will be much more reliable.
