Thanks! I think dynamically changing the maxlag value is likely to still introduce some thresholds, whereas a continuous slowdown (by retrieving the lag and compute one's edit rate based on it) should in theory reach an equilibrium point. In the meantime, Wikidata is really unusable with mass-editing tools at the moment. It is hard to convince people to respect maxlag=5 when that prevents them from editing half of the time, so I think it would be worth raising the WDQS factor again. We have identified which tools need to comply better, and having a small factor was useful for that. We probably do not want to stay in this state for weeks (Widar is likely to take a long time to get fixed). We might not want to punish the polite ones too hard!
