If you send more than 20 commands or messages to the server within 30 seconds, you will be locked out for 30 minutes.
If you send commands/messages only to channels in which you have Moderator or Operator status, the limit is 100 messages per 30 seconds.
These limits cannot be changed, so be careful when working with IRC.
Currently the bot just chats as much as it wants but this could easily send it over the limit for a fast-moving chat.
