Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.0.1.1 patch notes

Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.0.1.1 patch notes chat spam
Interestingly enough, Destiny 2 Hotfix 4.0.1.1's patch notes reel in the restrictions on chat spam, allowing more messages before a notification pops up to limit your chatter.

Bungie launched Destiny 2’s 4.0.1.1 Hotfix and its accompanying patch notes on April 26, 2022. One of the biggest headliners in this one is a change on text chat spam. Now, if you’re trying to cram text messages through, you can get away with a few more than previously allowed before a "You're sending messages too quickly!" message kicks in and starts limiting you. You can see the entirety of the 4.0.1.1 patch notes alongside the spam text change below:
