Search question

[Don_t_fight_the_hypothetical]

When I attempt a new search before my 300 seconds does the clock start over? In otherwords is it another 300 seconds from then?

Well, in twenty second intervals I got these messages:

This forum requires that you wait 300 seconds before submitting another search. You have 241 seconds to wait before another search will be allowed.

My favorite was when someone complained that “seconds” continued to be plural in this example:
