Bug ID: 472986
Summary: NeoChat Frequent Notification Calls to Matrix Server
(Dendrite)
Classification: Applications
Product: NeoChat
Version: unspecified
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: fe...@posteo.de
Reporter: tima...@proton.me
CC: c...@carlschwan.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
NeoChat appears to be repeatedly calling a [QueryNotification
endpoint](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.7/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3notifications)
that seems excessive when compared to other clients. Based on the description
of the endpoint, it seems like this endpoint is mostly meant for paginated
lists of notifications instead of minute-to-minute notification querying. I'm
not 100% familiar with the matrix spec but I believed that other clients
primarily rely on push notifications.
This might result in undue stress on Matrix servers that are on lower power
devices
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Account via NeoChat (23.11.70) on A Matrix Server (Dendrite -
0.13.1)
2. Monitor Dendrite logs
3. Log out of the NeoChat or close the application
4. Note the immediate absence of QueryNotification calls
5. Compare Server behaviour between Element, NeoChat, and Nheko Clients for
reference
OBSERVED RESULT
A large number of calls to the Query Notification endpoint on the Matrix server
(~3/second)
EXPECTED RESULT
A push notification instead of calling the Query end point
