Are time-based rate limits working?

API Spot/Margin API
1

A while back you posted this changelog entry:

2020-05-03

  • New request limit for some margin endpoints
    • Changes on these endpoints:
    • POST /sapi/v1/margin/transfer
    • POST /sapi/v1/margin/loan
    • POST /sapi/v1/margin/repay
    • Limit to 1 every 2 seconds。
    • Request beyond the limit will receive HTTP status code 429 。

I have been testing with POST /sapi/v1/margin/transfer and i’m not seeing that these rate limits are in place.

I have been able to call this endpoint more than once every 2000 milliseconds without ever getting a 429. Below is the result of transferring coins in and out of the margin account 10 times (2 calls each iteration).

[2166, 992, 967, 1062, 3009, 1676, 1486, 1463, 1492, 1684]

As you can see, I am calling this endpoint much faster than once every 2000 milliseconds and yet I am not getting a 429 error.

Is this a bug or is the feature not live currently?

Thanks,
