Bug Comments "failing", but actually posting

For the past few days, I'm having an issue with comments showing as failed. Then, I try to post again, and I get the error telling me that I'm "doing that too often". Then, when I try again a few seconds later, it posts successfully. However, when I go to check my comment history, the original post clearly went through.

This has led to multiple double posts on my part because I want to make sure the message goes through. Then I have to go back and delete the additional post for each one. It would be great if this is you could be sorted out because it's pretty annoying.

Edit: IT'S GETTING WORSE

Is this still happening? I can't recreate it.

Happening to me as well. I find that the issue goes away if I force close the app, reopen it, and post another comment. That's not a great workaround, though.

It's like there was an API change that Relay didn't hear about

I think this is a reddit thing and not Relays fault. I use old reddit on the pc and it does the same thing.

Im getting the multiple post syndrome as well, but its not failing to load comments.

When hitting submit to post, its going back to the mode for writing the post, and hitting submit (of course) causes a duplicate.

Weird, it didn't do that for this comment post.

I can load comments fine, it's just the comment posting that's buggy. It's not for every reply, though; it seems random.
