A PRES is a brief "time-out" that the MTurk server gives you for performing too many actions on the MTurk website too quickly. For example, trying to refresh the list of HITs too quickly by rapidly striking the F5 key.

In practice, this is what limits tools like Panda Crazy and MTS from being able to be run insanely fast so that you catch every HIT. Imagine if you and 10,000 other people were all running scripts that refreshed the MTurk website 100/second... Their servers would crash hard.

So PREs are sort of a protective measure for the MTurk server.
Has always suprised me they are as lenient with requests as they are. Their servers get hammered non stop.

Yeah. One really sees the disparity in server robustness when comparing a large-scale operation like AWS, which can handle a lot, to the dinky little servers Vicky's company has running.
