Why did this show up after my post?
"Correct the highlighted errors and try again.
Post flooding detected (community received posts of a unique message more than 1 times within 3,600 seconds)" It showed after a single post. Thank you.
Hi @hfagh35,
This error can appear when you try to post too often on the Community. Please wait some time before posting again or you can try posting again via a private or Incognito web browser window.

I just tried switching to an incognito browser, and got the error again: "Post flooding detected (community received posts of a unique message more than 1 times within 3,600 seconds)"
I got multiple error messages before this (wrong file type, must select a location, must have a label, etc) and attempted to post multiple times. I am guessing that's what triggered this error? Then when I tried in an incognito browser, I tried to post and then it gave an error about it being a duplicate draft post that again blocked it from posting.
To fix: Delete draft, then go to incognito browser, ensure all required fields are filled in, then post from incognito
