dd2beb226a test(test_exceed_rate_limit): print timestamps when sending messages 2026-01-26 14:25:06 +00:00
link2xt
9c7508cc33 test: fix flaky test_exceed_rate_limit
filtermail rate limiter is using leaky bucket
algorithm (GCRA).
Exceeting the limit requires sending
at least max_user_send_per_minute
messages to exhaust allowed burst,
and then sending messages faster
than the leak rate.
As we don't know how fast is the network
between the server and test runner,
try to send 3 times max_user_send_per_minute
messages to ensure the test does not
fail randomly.
