If you’re using a script to do so, make sure it’s handling API limits specifically for “edit” calls. I realized after I tried overwriting mine that it was quietly skipping a bunch of comments, presumably because there is (allegedly) a 1 edit call per 5 second rate limit. Since adding a 5 second delay between each re-write, it seems to be working for me.
I ran into this issue with u/j0be’s Power Delete Suite, I ended up writing my own script to do the job.
That second one is incredibly handy for those of us waiting until the API is shut off just in case. Kudos!
The API should still work for scripts like this in theory, though I wouldn’t put it passed them to fuck with it anyway
