Description
I recently switched mastodon instance, a process which requires a lot of background follow request negotiation. Internally, mastodon handles this as part of its normal queuing system, and so I was effectively being rate limited by Mastodon if I tried to do any UI stuff.
The main Mastodon UI pops up a small notification on the bottom left if I get a 429 status, including the time I should next attempt to do something, but Ice Cube just failed silently, which made it seem unresponsive, even when this had gone right, like signing in, or posting.
Ideally a small notification that the server is rate limiting you, and an indication of when to next attempt things would be good.

Research direction
Start by locating the SwiftUI client's handling of Mastodon requests that receive HTTP 429 responses. Add a visible notification explaining that the server is rate limiting the user and showing when to try again; done means rate-limited actions no longer fail silently.
