[bisq-network/bisq-markets] API connection timeout (#1)

[dan-da]

Present settings are that 30+ requests in 2 minutes will get your IP banned temporarily.

This was put in place to mitigate a ddos attack in early July and it performed well, with website responses going from unusable to quick.

That was before a caching improvement was deployed, so we should be able to handle more load now.

That said, I don't yet see a compelling reason to raise the limit.   All well-behaving API clients can rate limit to 4 secs between API requests.

An improvement would be to document minimum 4 secs between requests (30 reqs in 2 mins) at https://markets.bisq.network/api/

If the limit is causing any problems for browser sessions, no one has filed an issue for that since the limit was lowered.
