Description
This is something that Kattis apparently has. Basically relax the submission rate limit from "1 minute since last submission" to "either 1 minute from last submission OR there have been less than 15 submissions in the past 15 minutes".
I think it could be configurable via a new "burst size" parameter, so together with the current "min interval" parameter the rule is "min_interval seconds since last submission OR less than burst_size submissions in past min_interval * burst_size seconds".

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests, so start by locating the submission rate-limit implementation and its configuration entry points. Define how the existing minimum interval combines with the configurable burst size, then add coverage for both ordinary limits and allowed bursts. Done means the configured rule is enforced and existing rate-limit behavior remains covered.
