Rate limiting
-------------
Home servers SHOULD implement rate limiting to reduce the risk of being overloaded. If a
request is refused due to rate limiting, it should return a standard error response of
the form::
{
"errcode": "M_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
"error": "string",
"retry_after_ms": integer (optional)
}
The ``retry_after_ms`` key SHOULD be included to tell the client how long they have to wait
in milliseconds before they can try again.
