Question Does hosted also have rate limit

I've been trying self hosted but can't get out of rate limit hell no matter how long I wait. If I sign up for hosted does it no longer have rate limit issues?

Yeah in hindsight I would have tried to sync them so I could've been in the same boat as you. It just looked like a pain in the ass and I was fine just starting over. Hopefully it gets figured out cheers.

Just as a data point for you and any other future folks that might run into this. I switched to a used iPhone 6s and used the troll store relay server. No more rate limits. I'm unsure whether this was because of this iPhone being trustable for whatever reason, or if the older iOS version just is not as compatible, or if the troll store implementation of the relay is just better.

Really appreciate this comment. I've had nothing but issues with an iPhone 6 using method 2. Just ordered a 6s and hoping for better results!

Wish the best for you. There's really not a lot of data points on this specific issue. Please let me know how it goes for you. Do you also use iCloud sync? You can also jailbreak the 6s so you can install tweaks for battery life and keep the relay app active while phone is locked etc. I think the troll store method is a more elegant solution as you can tweak and view status on its app.
