Activating a lot of steam keys in a short period
I realized I have years worth of Humble Bundle steam keys accumulated that I haven't claimed. I started activating them, but steam is blocking me from activating them because I've activated too many keys recently. I don't want this to take forever. Is there a way I can contact someone at Steam to bypass this until I've activated these? I can't find a way to contact Steam support directly and this issue isn't an option they list. Any help is appreciated!

No. Support doesn't even have access to these cooldowns, and I *very*much* doubt there are per-account settings hidden on the Steam backend for this...

If you bought these keys and haven't even activated them, chances are they can wait for a few more days...

It's a rate limit. Try again after 1 full hour from the last attempt.

It's roughly 50 keys, hit the rate limit, wait a full hour, rinse and repeat.
