I would also add that is it tuned to only affect a tiny minority of people making map calls. Looking at yesterday only 13 addresses were ever blocked by the rate limiter out of a total of 1984 addresses - that's about 0.5% of users. Overall only just under 2% of requests were blocked by the rate limiter.
