wow. how would one even fix this without deliberate downtime? you'd have to deploy and hope that the frontend will make it through CDNs to reduce pressure, right?

You first remove rate limits, then implement and release exponential backoff on frontend, then apply rate limits again (on a small segment of users first, then more). No biggie, you just need to be very careful. And boss needs to chill for that time, which is unlikely to happen.
