alright so I was scraping some user data from a platform that normally bans me after like ten requests and I finally got past the 500 request mark w/o a single block which is insane for me I always thought you needed a massive pool of residentials rotating every single request but turns out the key is matching your rotation speed to their detection window they dont just count IPs they look for pattern bursts so if you rotate too fast you trigger their rate limit anyway I set my scraper to use a new IP every 30 seconds instead of every request and paired it with randomized delay between 2 and 7 seconds my success rate went from 15% to like 85% show me the numbers right my log is full of green now anyone else playing with rotation timing not just IP quality
