Daily GeoIP Database Download Limit Reached

[mendoksai]

Hello,

Recently, I've been receiving this email by MaxMind:

Dear MaxMind Customer,

Your account has reached the daily limit for database downloads. Any additional download attempts today from your account will fail. Learn more about database download limits.

To avoid download errors we recommend that you limit your downloads of each database to no more than once per day per server. You can sign in to your account and check your GeoIP download history for information on IP addresses you are downloading databases from.

To ensure that you are downloading your databases efficiently, you may consult the update schedule for GeoIP databases. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@maxmind.com.

Sincerely,
The Team at MaxMind

When I check the download history, I can see it's really downloading every a few minutes save file. ex: GeoLite2-City_20240301.tar.gz I wonder it's happening due to failure?

Can this process be improved?

Thank you.

Is there a chance that the app maybe restarts frequently? The app should just fetch the geolite database file on startup https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/geoip/-/blob/master/index.js?ref_type=heads#L61

The database is part of the docker image at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/geoip/-/blob/master/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads#L6 . The app doesn't download GeoIP database. In fact, it doesn't even know about your MaxMind key. So, this mail is because of something else.

Yes, you are right. After deep investigation I found it's another docker that uses the license key. Sorry my bad, first I've got the IP wrong. That's why I assumed it's on Cloudron. My apologize.
