Too many packets sent.

[Ichiba]

While using a combination of fatebot and the patrol plugin to grind some enemies, I've noticed that after a few hours the bot stops with the message "Too many packets sent.", and then crashes shortly after. Is this some kind of navigation server limit I'm running into? I've included a log with this happening without even really trying to do anything. I tried making a grinding profile with the profile creator but the movement is incredibly obvious that it's a bot as it will run back and forth a couple times trying to hit a certain location before continuing its path to the next monster. Any way to make this stop?

Yep. That means your plugin is behaving very very very badly. That limit is pretty hard to hit as you have to send a ton of packets in a very short period of time. Report this to the developer of the plugin.

How much is too much then? From the look of these logs, it's sending maybe a request every two seconds on the rare occasion that an enemy moves and it has to chase it or goes out of LOS. Otherwise it's usually around 10 seconds between requests. This doesn't seem like a ton of packets or a very short period of time unless for some reason it's not actually reporting nav requests.

I'm not going to give out specific numbers, but its definitely the plugin doing something stupid.
