Has the voting quota variable been left at its default value?
To reduce server load and network traffic, a maximum number of votes that can be cast each day has been set at a level that will only affect the top 2% of voters, leaving the bottom 98% unaffected. This quota can be altered with an environment variable. View a profile to see how much of their daily quota has been used.
This feature is incredibly annoying. I tend to upvote most comments I read to boost engagement and to tell what comments I have or haven't read. I can't do that anymore and have to pick and choose.
Please disable the stupid daily vote limit. I shouldn't have to ration my votes, especially when the limit is so small that I hit the limit after just a few threads at most. I highly doubt up/downvotes use enough server traffic to warrant punishing us for using them. Yet another L from Rimu for implementing this garbage.

I see this on my profile and I have no idea what it means:

I was wondering about this too but it looks like it's disappeared altogether...

Neat! I don't know if it's placebo but browsing definitely feels a lot faster.

I also did a bunch of performance tuning on the infra + db, and patched a few slow queries in piefed. Should definitely be zippier!
