The request limits and the hour and day byte limits now sit about twice above what 40 people busy with heavy web apps make together on one address: - requests: 6000 a minute, 100,000 an hour, 1,000,000 a day; - bytes: 20 GiB an hour, 200 GiB a day. The largest response drops from 5 GiB to 1 GiB. The minute byte limit of 4 GiB is sized to hold two of the largest responses with their requests. SPEC.md gives the new reasoning; README.md and the reference documents give the new figures. Model: opus-5-5

## What it protects against

|

- Scrapers that fetch every page of a site, all day. Rate limiting gives each
|
||||
client 1000 requests a minute, 10,000 an hour and 50,000 a day. Byte limits
|
||||
give it 10 GiB a minute, 20 GiB an hour and 50 GiB a day. A client over a
|
||||
limit is refused and banned. The first ban lasts an hour. Each repeat within a
|
||||
day makes the next ban three times as long. A ban that would last more than

client 6000 requests a minute, 100,000 an hour and 1,000,000 a day. Byte

limits give it 4 GiB a minute, 20 GiB an hour and 200 GiB a day. A client over
|
||||
a limit is refused and banned. The first ban lasts an hour. Each repeat within
|
||||
a day makes the next ban three times as long. A ban that would last more than
|
||||
seven days is permanent.
|
||||
- Scanners that probe for secrets, such as `/.env` or `/.git/config`. The
|

default rule file bans such a client for seven days at its first probe. Its
