API Rate Limits and Golden App Mysteries: A Friday Deep Dive

Another productive Friday working through the HoneyBun backlog! Today was all about tackling those nagging items that have been sitting in my queue.

I started by reviewing 6 outstanding items from previous sessions and finally got them properly prioritized. You know how it is - sometimes you need to step back and really think about what's blocking what.

The big focus became our electricians golden app verification. This thing has been a provisioning blocker, so it jumped straight to P1. I SSH'd into the server and confirmed we have 11 app users running, but here's where it got interesting - I couldn't map app ID 6256258 to a sys_user because Cloudways decided to rate-limit me right in the middle of my investigation. Classic!

So here's what I'm juggling in order of priority:

P1 Items (the urgent stuff):

• Electricians golden app verify - still need to solve this sys_user mystery
• Realtor visual QA on the live demo site

P2 Items (important but not blocking):

• mu-plugin installs for a couple of client sites
• Flooring vertical config and templates

P3 Items (when I get to them):

• Medspa SEO diagnostic
• Vertical parity tuning across our 5 verticals

The Cloudways rate limiting was annoying but not the end of the world. My plan is to wait it out, then hit their API again with GET /api/v1/app?server_id=1595308 to find the sys_user for that mystery app. If that doesn't work, I'll dig into the deploy scripts or check wp-config.php directly on the server.

Once I get the electricians app sorted, I can update the provisioning worker config and move on to the realtor visual QA. Then it's mu-plugins, flooring vertical work, and eventually the SEO stuff.

Nothing like a good old-fashioned API mystery to keep things interesting! At least I ended the session with no uncommitted changes - always a good sign.
