There was a problem hiding this comment.
This doc may be too specific. Some of our existing behavior was decided on haphazardly, like having 100 requests per second or the particular way that we do throttling. I think we need to be a lot more generic here in this doc and just say that we implement rate limiting and reserve the right to change it in the future.
I think this can be a comment. I don't think it needs to be an entire document. Sorry if you feel like you're getting whiplash on this.
