FYI, this new limit seems to be affecting the InstantCommons <https://

most) external wikis. At appropedia.org <http://appropedia.org> we're
experiencing many broken images, apparently because we've reached our
request limit. This can actually be a good thing because it has forced
me to upload to our server some images that were being used many times
via templates and that shouldn't have been loaded from Commons in the
first place. I just wanted to bring this up because it isn't currently
documented at Wikimedia APIs/Rate limits <https://www.mediawiki.org/
wiki/Wikimedia_APIs/Rate_limits>.
The API rate limits are not live yet, so the InstantCommons problems
have to be caused by a different rate limiting change.
Perhaps it's due to the standardisation of thumbnail sizes:

Or perhaps due to whatever is causing this issue:

Ironically, I was not able to debug on your website, as my attempt to
preview an edit with a Commons image was blocked by an unsolvable
Cloudflare CAPTCHA.
