BOTS

Hello @thibault and Lichess developers. I am very displeased to see that BOTS cannot play Ultrabullet now. First it was no talking in forums, the title not showing, and now they are not able to play a game mode? I don't know if you have something against Lichess BOTS . . .

@Pineapple-Apple-Pen My Bot's Title Is Showing: @Bot_AOOP11
But Yeah, What Is Wrong With BOTs?

I mean in chat boxes.

@Pineapple-Apple-Pen Ah Yes.
Ur Right I Mean BOTs Should Play UltraBullet.

Yes. It's a whole variant!

It's fair enough (not really at all but whatever, I have to concede something) to prevent bots from posting on forums, but no ultrabullet? Why don't you want bots to play ultrabullet? It's another variant that bots should be able to play. That just seems unfair. Please give me a reason, lichess.

:(

It's because bots make one HTTP request per move, and ultrabullet requires playing so many moves in so little time that they were hitting rate limits.

HyperBullet (30s+0) is still available.

hi thibault

@thibault so i just saw this, now i know why my bot @stockfish-splashes can't play ultra, the http requests were too much. thanks for noting.
