I considered replacing my profile picture, so I went to my settings and tried to upload a new one. At first it looked like it was working, but when I refreshed the page after clicking ‘Save’, nothing happened.

So I turned off my content blocking extensions, allowed Opera to permit trackers, advertisements, and protected content, and I retried to upload my profile picture.

{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}

I decided to modify my browser to accept all cookies, and this time I tried browsing outside of private mode.

{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}

At this point I thought ‘fuck it’, switched to Microsoft’s awful Edge browser, and tried to upload my picture from there.

{“data”:{“error”:“rate_limit_error”},“state”:“success”}

Piss, piss, PISS!

ETA: I figured out what the problem is. The page didn’t want to save because the description had too many characters in it.

    Assuming you’re still getting the rate limit error, I’m not sure how to proceed. Normally you would only get that issue if you’re making a lot of requests, but the fact that you’re able to post fine suggests that’s not the issue.

      The error message isn’t appearing anymore, but the Save function still doesn’t work.

        If you find out anything else let me know. I can’t reproduce the issue.

          I figured out what the problem is. The page didn’t want to save because my description/biography had a link in it. Everything works fine as long as the link is gone.

          ETA: The number of characters was the problem.
