I see.

Yeah I can see some uses for that. Is it things like:

  • more coding effort required by the attacker (security through obscurity in a way?)
  • it helps reduce the frequency of the spamming. Before an attacker can spam, they need to wait to receive a new token. Then, when the token is "used up" after some requests, they need to request a new one and wait again.
  • you can potentially save the bearer token. Then, if the user turns out to be a spammer, you can delete all the relevant log inputs from them.

Let me know if I'm totally missing the point lol.

Cool tips though, thanks.
