It keeps spamming me about failures from 30 days ago, what the hell is going on?

  1. It sucks not being able to receive critical notifications because of bugs
  2. Why am I being spammed for rate limiting about failures from 30 days ago? There's no longer any forwarding so there should not be a single message about rate limiting, why? because it only goes through me.

how many messages did I send today? 0
yes I did restart/recreate/rebuild the container

It sucks not being able to receive critical notifications because of bugs 2. Why am I being spammed for rate limiting about failures from 30 days ago? There's no longer any forwarding so there should not be a single message about rate limiting, why? because it only goes through me. how many messages did I send today? 0 yes I did restart/recreate/rebuild the container

I sure do hope (until I have to reverse engineer everything and make sure I guess?) that it's not really calling home with
the upstream-url being unset.

What's more is that I am also being spammed client-side, even though the go client/daemon is the only one that really "works" I have to workaround that broken rate limiting spam...

Thank you for submitting a bug ticket. Unfortunately, you didn't describe at all what's wrong, and you were also doing that in not the nicest way. If you'd like help, then you should probably be more specific of what you think is broken, and you should have a nicer tone.

We are always happy to help if you are respectful and specific.

I am not sure what else I can do beside copy pasting the logs, if you
want something else just ask I will do my best to provide. But for the time being
Rate limiting is broken as per the logs I have attached in the OP.

PS: It's not that I am not nice its' just that I being direct which is completely different. I am sorry not to be sorry if it looks that way to you or anyone.

The logs look perfectly normal. What do you THINK is broken.

How is that perfectly normal? What is rate limiting me? I am sending
notifications through my own channels.

Furthermore, I will have to repeat myself unfortunately but the rate
limiting messages mention topics that I haven't used in almost a month
so it's quite obvious that nothing is normal. So even if it did call
home for absolutely no reason there would still be something broken.

Sure, in what section should I be looking for "Why are you messages from
1 month ago still being sent and causes you to be spammed by rate limiting messages?"
