Description

I've implemented CheckRateLimitForCollectionPageCommand on two servers for tier 0 users. It works well and recovers automatically.

Currently a triggered instance returns a terse 429 response, but if Dataverse could print an explanation that content may still be viewable by signed-in users with a link to the login page, that might make such rate limiting less of a "nuclear" option?

Research direction

Start by locating CheckRateLimitForCollectionPageCommand and the current 429 response it triggers for tier 0 users. Determine how the response is generated and how a login URL can be presented. Done means the rate-limiting response explains that content may be viewable by signed-in users and includes a link to the login page.
