I have no glue whether or not wmf has any solution shortly. The maxlag is 
exceeded over several hours every day an the value is about 8 then.

I made a proposal in 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/pywikibot/core/+/576813/ to enforce any 
response after some wait cycles by increasing the maxlag parameter step by step.

Unfortunately our CI test also found wrong data response from time to time and 
haven't a solution for this issue on pwb side.

Probably the put_throttle should not be higher than 12 which is double of the 
default but I guess that most bot have a very fast edit rate of 1 per second or 
so which may be a reason for the maxlag problem. Another parameter we could 
play with is the minthrottle for read operation. This is an old compat 
parameter and is set to 0 in core.

All these parameters are useless if bot owners follow them more ore less; The 
higher you increase the edit rates for you bots the lower is it for the others. 
And fear that there are differences in bots settings outside of the default 
values. Therefore I guess wmf is working on a server side pool throttling. 
After 4 months of this problem I think we should have a solution very quickly.
