Have there been any known issues with WP Webmention plugin repeatedly sending webmentions? I've been getting a lot from webmention.isbrill.com. I've reached out to Matt who runs the site, figured I'd check in here too though.

Timing isn't consistent, which seems in line with the WP lazy cron, presuming that's how they're triggered. Usually getting a few each hour.

UA on the requests is "WordPress/6.8.1". If possible, might be a good idea to add the webmention plugin version as well.

I use a scheduled CRON because I don't want to wait

I presume this is an out of the box setup

Have there been known issues with it repeatedly sending?

I am replying to them and suggesting they join the chat here too, to help debug

No ..none

But we can check the logic

gRegor
Ok, thanks. Is there a flag that gets set in the db once they're sent? Maybe that isn't updating for them for some reason, so it keeps retrying

how many/often is "repeatedly"?

ah nm, "a few each hour"
#
GWG
Yes, there is, but if something updates the post...
#
gRegor
Does it automatically re-send each time the post is updated, or is it a UI choice they have to make?
#
gRegor
That might explain some of it, it is a directory page with a lot of links, but I doubt they're updating it this frequently.

gRegor: It does it every time the page is updated

Makes sense, thanks for the info! Will see what Matt finds
