The default request limits now suit programmatic use of an API, such
as an automation fleet on another host, and still catch abusive bots:
- per minute: 500, room for a fleet's busiest minute and a few first
visits with an empty cache, and passed within seconds by a client
firing as fast as it can;
- per hour: 20000, passed by a client that keeps up 6 a second;
- per day: 300000, passed by a scraper that keeps up 4 a second.
The byte limits and ban lengths are unchanged. SPEC.md, README.md and
docs/settings.md give the reasons; docs/gitea.md redoes the Actions
runner sums.
Judgement call: the docs/alerts.md ban example shows the minute limit.
Model: opus-5-5
