Booted for "Spamming Messages" during Boss Fights.

I keep getting booted from the game for "Reaching the message rate limit" while in boss fights. Since I'm not typing, sending mail or doing anything other than using skills during a boss fight, is there something I could change about my settings to prevent this from happening?

    Yes, might be some addon sending stats to chat window
    This might be an mod bug after this update.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I'd guess try to disable/update addons, but see if the link helps.

    It happens with Healing Springs spam on vanilla ESO more than with any other skill.

    Message rate limit isn't actual typed chat messages. It's talking about the data packets being sent to the server (aka pinging) from your computer. Normally you send one and receive one, but when the server times out/stops responding you continually send packets (messages) without receiving any so the server boots you for spamming it.

    TL;DR the server lagged out. It has nothing to do with addons or chatting.

    Thank you so much. Just weird that it started happening with Morrowind, and I think it happened maybe once prior to Morrowind and has never been a problem. Now it's happening like twice a trial, always in a boss battle.

    I'll just disable addons before going into a trial just to be sure.

    I once got booted for buying things in the crown store with my crown gems too quickly. How slowly do I need to press 'E' in order to buy the stuff I want/need and get back to the game?
