Each IP may now make 120 requests per minute instead of 60. Under
load the limit drops to 60 RPM once the site reaches 600 RPS and to
30 RPM at 1000 RPS, instead of 30 and 15 RPM at 200 and 300 RPS.
One page load makes three or four requests, and many visitors share
an IP behind carrier-grade NAT or an office gateway, so the old
limits throttled real users. The old global thresholds were also far
below what the host can serve. Update the FAQ in every locale to
match.

Switch from High Frequency 2vCPU/2GB ($18/mo) to Regular Performance
1vCPU/1GB ($5/mo). Tighten HAProxy rate limits from 100/50/30 RPM to
60/30/15 RPM with lower global RPS thresholds (200/300 instead of
300/500). Reduce maxconn, socket buffers, file descriptor limits, and
Docker resource settings to fit within 1GB RAM constraints. Update all
user-facing content and translations across 14 locales.
