It’s a classic. Binance will give you 429 errors to back off then 418s to tell you you will be IP banned and then they’ll ban you.

Google’s spiders will punish you for giving them too many 429 responses. It’s hell for hosting sites with vanity urls. They can’t tell they’re sending you 50+ req/s.

It’s practically a protection racket. Only AWS gets the money.

50 requests/sec? Did you forget a few zeros?

Little’s law is a bitch, and you can get away with a little throttling but not much.

Also, that’s a bit dismissive for HN.
