> How does the throttling work? If it’s using a standard throttling mechanism perhaps the burst rate can be set to 2/minute and the 5 or 10 minute average set to 1/minute?

That’s a great idea @Symbioquine - I use Nginx’s `limit_req` directive, so adding the `burst` option to that could solve this. I will look into that.
