rate limits: penalize user if they keep making requests while limited.
If the user makes a request while rate limited, penalize them 1 second for that request, up to a maximum of 30 seconds. This means that if a user doesn't stop making requests after being rate limited, then they will stay rate limited forever until they stop. This is to temp ban bots, especially spam bots, that flood requests while ignoring HTTP errors or rate limits. (Note that this is on a per-endpoint basis. Being rate limited on one endpoint won't penalize you for making calls to other endpoints.)
