Rate limiting is applied per IP address, not globally. Make sure you're properly passing the client IP if using a reverse-proxy.

Nicolas Giard: Yes, but in the project we face the issue, we use the authentication via our BE infrastructure so the it's M2M authentication in our case. (Because when we added wiki js to our infrastructure it didn't support oauth2 and we implemented our own authentication). It'd be great if we can increase the limit as a setting in the docker container
