One year ago there was similar issue <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Termininja/Archive#BotNinja>, then my bot made ~200 edits/sec but I didn't know anything about bot policies and the lags. When I was warned my bot started to checks median lag on every minute and stopped work if the lag reached 300. But the problem was continues so I decrease the max lag to 100, and later I made it to slow the speed if lag is more than 50 and stop if reach 60. This is how my bot worked in the last one year. Yesterday there was again a complaint so I added maxlag=5 to every POST request. I don't know how much this helped... For me is not problem to decrease the speed more, but I need to know how much and what is criteria. Just tell me some **normal ** limit for edits per second (1, 2, 3 or ...) or critical median lag (10, 30, 50, ...) or maybe both. Of course I'm totally disagree the speed to be less or equal to 1 edit/sec because this means to take ~1 month to edit all taxon items (if needed, for example) which are more than 2 millions.
