Summary	0005982: implement HTTP request throttling
Description	The wallet must have some request throttling at the HTTP layer, so that even with potential bugs in the core wallet logic, servers don't get overwhelmed. The throttling should be windows to allow bursts, so e.g. max 20 req/sec, max 100 req/min, max 1000 req/h.

Florian Dold 2020-08-20 11:05 manager ~0016673	Request throttling has been implemented in the wallet for a while. I've now also made sure to surface better diagnostics when we run into a throttled request.
