Yes it has felt different. What’s being throttled? Or to ask another way, what are they doing when they’re throttling?

nostr's growing too big for free relays without funds to expand infrastructure

well for example, damus relay now only allows a couple messages per minute, that incudes ALL kinds, zaps, likes, follows, profiles, replies.. drafts, for sure would burn this before you even post.
How would a user be able to know if/when a relay is throttling?
clients usually cover up the failure.. but most relays will respond back and say why its not currently accepting a particular note so that you would know to retry.
