Yeah, part of it was the selection for recency of vote, even on old comments—a positive-total comment from the past got some new downvotes, and that triggered the throttle.
That’s probably a flaw that shouldn’t result in rate-limiting (which reduces NEW posts, not old ones, obviously), but my main point is that the imperfect implementation is still pretty good.
I’m glad you’re continuing to refine it, but I don’t want it removed entirely or reworked from the ground up.
