There is no limit for established registered users, administrator or otherwise.
The limit for unregistered and newly registered users is 8 edits per 60
seconds.

There is also no "soft limit" anywhere near as draconian as one edit every 20
seconds, at least not on en.wikipedia. One edit every 3 seconds is more or less
standard when dealing with vandalism.
