XP limit per hour

Expected Behavior

I'm trying to control overall XP / h rate (in addition of XP / 24h because I'm more & more convinced that this is one of the critical factors of ban). The only relevant seems to be walk_max but if you meet many pokemon in lure you will end with high XP even if you walk slowly

Possible solution

a parameter XP_per_hour (or a shorter interval)
when this parameter is reached, no spin or catch is being done until the hour (or the time interval )is consumed

How it would help others

prevent perm ban

I think it can't be just XP earned in an hour... Maybe XP earned with catching and spinning.
Playing completely legit with the app on your phone, you can get 180k XP in an hour if you have 180 pokemons to evolve and two lucky eggs...

[Gurzeh]

I totally agree with last comment. If someone want to overpass this limit (by evolving with lucky eggs) it must still be possible.

Btw, it is exactly by doing this (evolving pokemon with lucky eggs, around 80k XP) that I got banned at level 30.

You did it manually ? Or with the bot ?

[Gurzeh]

With the bot. Right now, I'm conducting experiments with 5 accounts, each one having a different behavior. One is ref, four will be sacrificed to test the limits, increasing each day. Each suicide bot is duplicate to check if the rule is mandatory.

That's a lot of work for 5 bots. I don't have a working account now. So, i'll relax for a bit.
