Hey all, so even though I don't actively mod anymore, I love Mod Toolbox because it has the indicator on the bottom right that shows when you have a new message.
Problem is, when Toolbox is enabled on old.reddit, the API absolutely craps itself after 100 requests and gives you a few minute cooldown before any text posts can be viewed or any comments made. Extraordinarily frustrating.
So I guess my question is: Is there anything in Toolbox settings I can change to not choke the API while preserving the Message notification? Please note, I will not move to new reddit under any circumstance, nor do I have any interest in enabling Desktop notifications.
If there's not a setting for that in Toolbox, does anyone know of something else that replicates the functionality of the bottom left glowing message icon?
Thank you!

Well, it's definitely the Notifier module, and changing the update interval from 1 minute to 5 minutes did nothing to alleviate the problem.
Such a bummer. Maybe I'll check the discord.

To anyone who stumbles upon this post:
There is no fix. Mod Toolbox is run by one person who has no plans to update the Notifier module.
The only option is to disable it.
Don't even bother with the Discord for support.
