    Many unrated and newbie bots are submitting a lot of solutions in order to test their AI on problems. Thus, it is loading servers and making long queue's for valid users.

      Why can't they limit the number of submissions in some amount of time, like 1 submission every minute and if they keep submitting rapidly, increase the amount? Or is it already like that?

        i don't think it really makes sense to do one every minute because in a situation like a virtual or a contest, lets say you have a big you immediately know how to fix e.g. int to ll and if that occurs, i would be fairly annoyed having to wait a minute.

There's already a limit of 250 submissions per day, what more can you ask for?

    The queue forms before they reach the daily limit

    A one submission per minute would work better

      I think that should be a thing for everyone up to a certain level(Expert+ would be good), but more than just 1 submission per minute.
