the RcvQ filling I mentioned above is beyond what buckets allow. Two unrelated effects - IOW you need both: throttling for buckets *plus* waiting for reply when the processing rate at server side is lower than what buckets would allow
<DocScrutinizer05>
also I'm pretty sure there are several buckets of different "size": one for 60 msgs/minute, another one for like 8msgs/3s
<DocScrutinizer05>
or even 4msgs/1.5s
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, ircd7 is FOSS - though I guess those are config values specific to freenode and thus not üublicly known
<DocScrutinizer05>
publicly, even
<DocScrutinizer05>
also possibly it's not ircd7 but eir bot/service to handle this
