We need to return the value of the maxlag in the API as well but tool developers should check the maxlag, even if it's 3 or 2 seconds, then wait for that amount and make the next edit after that (or just sleep exactly after the edit is made). This way they slow down before "they reach the threshold and then have to back off the let go back to normal and then they start the flood of edits again and so on and so forth." I'm not sure I follow, pywikibot at least has a write throttle which is 10s by default and the issue is still happening. Also, your proposal would only work if the clients would apply lagging only for write operations, not read ops, otherwise running bots would take forever.
