Description

I am not positive that it had anything to do with the chat, but I was reading public chat. I also may have hit the rate limit because I was using a script to read the chat. So this may have been a bit of a stress test.

In my public folder there is a file processor.py that I was running and which was triggering the chat reads. The code that notices the rate limiting didn't exist yet so it would have been taxing.

Research direction

Start with the public-folder processor.py script and the supplied log ID 2a833f154467c8d242bfd71c. Reproduce the public chat reads under the reported rate-limit stress, then trace the client behavior that follows and determine whether it causes the BSOD. Done means the failure is reproduced or ruled out with evidence and the triggering behavior is addressed.
