I have been able to reproduce this and understand this has to do with comment flood protection in core. However, there is no reason comment flood protection should be activated this quickly for a user editing their comment.
I don't want to disable comment protection globally, but I do want users to be able to edit their comments. It seems there may be an IP attribution problem here?
FWIW, the site uses cloudflare.
thanks!

Hi @martym,
This is the core WordPress flood prevention feature. Please read this article it'll help you to get rid of it: https://frique.me/blog/disabling-wordpress-comment-flood-prevention/

Thanks Asti. Yes, I understand this, however even when adjusting the setting for comment flood protection to 2 seconds or 15 minutes, the error still occurs. Something is not right. There seems to be an issue in the plugin that causes this via the frontend edit feature.
