The problem with rate limiters is that they are a great way to shoot yourself in the foot with a denial of service (DOS).

You create a system to reject requests when load is high but apps and users keep hitting refresh causing more load than just serving the requests in the first place.
For anyone keeping track, this isn’t even the first time they’ve completely broken the site by bumbling around in the rate limiter.

There’s a reason the limiter was one of the most locked down internal tools. Futzing around with rate limits is probably the easiest way to break Twitter.
