it’s common for the turnaround time to be 24+ hours anyway
I don’t think we should assume the wait for replies for rate-limited users will be exactly the refresh rate (as in, someone given 1 post every 24 hours will always respond within a day) if the limits are site-wide, because people might want to participate in more than one conversation at time. I don’t necessarily think that’s a problem, I think slower conversations are probably an improvement and it would be weird to say a rate limit is good except it reduces the number of comments people can leave, but I do think it’s important to track that the speed reduction may be greater than planned.
