Re: [csswg-drafts] drafts.csswg.org keeps blocking my IP, rate limits are too low (#11354)

> Please do not reopen this issue without first confirming that: legitimate users (i.e. not bots) are currently blocked, those blocks have started since the rate limits were last adjusted (see above where repeated blocks result in longer bans), and providing the date and time the block started and the IP address(es) affected. Otherwise there's no actionable information and nothing to do here. If there are left over long-term blocks from before the rate limits last changed, I also need IP addresses to release those.

For a concrete example of rate limits being too-aggressively applied, I visited https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/ at around 9:10 am UTC today from a link on mdn (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face#formal_syntax).

I immediately realized "oh, I wanted the specific link to font face lower down in the mdn page", so I closed the tab, and clicked on the link to https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/#font-face-rule from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face#specifications instead. I was hit with an immediate 429.
