Why is there a message edit limit

xharris — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 19:55:30 GMT

The route for editing a message

PUT https://webexapis.com/v1/messages/{messageId}

says it has a limit of 10 edits per message. I'd love to know why it's not unlimited edits as I want to edit a message more than 10 times using a webex bot. Currently my alternative solution is deleting and recreating the message, thus creating many ugly "Bot has deleted their own message".

The maximum currently supported is 10 edits per message. If a user attempts to edit a message greater than the maximum times allowed the API will return 400 Bad Request with a message stating the edit limit has been reached. This is by design and if you wish you can create a new feature request for the same here https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ and Product Management will evaluate it's feasibility for future implementations.
