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." > What do you think? You don't get the maxlag value except you trigger that border. What about the http response reader variable restry_after?
