I also have problem with passing the rate-limit test in Signal integration:

contact is marked as Signal Connector
I already sent few messages to Signal account number

@fightingdreamer thanks for the report.

Unfortunately I currently don't have good ideas how to solve this. When sending messages in Signal network, we from time to time get rate-limited. When we hit a rate-limit, there's an option to solve a CAPTCHA to lift the rate limit, but this workaround is itself rate-limited: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/1497#issuecomment-2027855580

In theory I could look into using multiple Signal accounts, but I feel like this, if detected, would be rightly seen as abuse by Signal, and we would eventually be worse off.

I've contacted Signal support a couple times asking for any advice on what to do here, but got a reply back saying signal-cli is a 3rd-party product, and so Signal as a nonprofit cannot offer support for it. Which makes sense, but unfortunately also doesn't help :-/

Same here, does not work even if adding as contact and writing a test message.
