    Hi, i’d like to remove an IP address which got wrongly throttled due to my rules being too strict. The “Clear all blocked IP addresses” and “Clear all locked out IP addresses” buttons don’t work on throttled entries.

    Hi,
    You just need to re-adjust the rate limiting rule value that throttled this IP so it doesn’t get throttled again.

    Thanks.

    I changed the value and i also set “verified google crawlers have unlimited access” (it was a google crawler) but the throttling rule is still there after three days. I have a 2 hour blocking at most.

    Sorry but what do you mean by “the throttling rule is still there”? please share a screenshot showing “Wordfence > Blocking => Blocked IPs => IPs throttled for accessing the site too frequently” showing this IP.

    Thanks.

    So, it seems you set aggressive settings for “If a crawler’s page views exceed” rule 2 days ago, then when you adjusted its value, everything is working fine now, no Google crawlers IPs are getting throttled for more than 2 days.

    Also, for “If a crawler’s pages not found (404s) exceed” rule, it seems that since yesterday this rule doesn’t throttle any Google crawler IP.

    You can keep watching this page and re-adjust the rate limiting rules if needed.

    Thanks.

    Ok i get it now, these are NOT currently in effect! It’s some kind of log. I think you should somewhat clarify this in the page then. Thank you for your prompt support.
