You know moderation is at an IP level, we've had multiple discussions about it, and I'm clearly still getting hit with the rate limit, so when you say "to work around restrictions" it's obviously disingenuous on your part. Someone/multiple people are auto-downvoting everything I comment on with my other account, so I switched to see if it kept happening. Unsurprisingly, it didn't until I mentioned it again, and it started up immediately after.

As for the other comment you made (can't reply directly, rate limit), it isn't a low information post, I'm showing a screenshot of the message I get when I hit the rate limit.

You're literally gas lighting right now, it's insane.

You also know if you actually do anything else beyond rate limiting I'll just go dark, which is even "worse" for you, so this so-called "leniency" is nonsense. Just stop.

Edit: You can't use multiple accounts to get around rate limits, as you and I have discussed multiple times, so I'm not "doing" anything that constitutes a ban, but feel free to ban at your leisure. Over the years you've established yourself firmly as an unreasonable person, so there's no point trying to treat you like one.

I'm afraid I don't really follow what you've written here.

Rate limits are meaningless if people can just use multiple accounts to get around them. If you keep doing that, we're going to have to ban at least one of your accounts—but more likely all of them. After several years of trying to persuade you to use HN as intended, I'm beginning to lose patience.
