Hello,
Since Chrome 92, there is this new setting "MAX_CAPTURE_VISIBLE_TAB_CALLS_PER_SECOND", that only allows by default up  to 2 screenshots per second in a chrome extension, is there any way to increase this number?

Can we please get a response on this as soon as possible.

This has broken two major features in my Chrome extension.

The official Save to Google Drive extension is also affected by this limit, since it tries to capture all the page sequentially and it exceeds the quota when trying to do so.

The fix would be to throttle calls to tabs.captureVisibleTab.

I've reported this via the support email which appears in the CWS listing page.

Cheers :-)

It looks like this limitation was introduced in Chrome 92 to address a Chrome crash. There is currently no way to increase this value.

If this issue is affecting your extension, I'd encourage you to share details about your use case and impact on your extension in this issue: crbug.com/1205278
