Sanity: [client] Build rate-limiting into the client

[davesag]

I spent a fair bit of time today redoing some of my project code to allow for the rate limiting that got turned on last night. I have no issue with rate limiting but it seems to me that it would be much more convenient, given it's such a cross-cutting concern, and can be non-trivial to implement, to just have the rate limiting built into the javascript client itself. Then it's just not something that we devs need to worry our pretty little heads over.

Agree. Escalated internally here.

Any progress on this, @nicholasklem?

[nicholasklem]

No, unfortunately nothing yet. I've added your comment to our internal issue, maybe we can get some progress by making noise.
