Description
This issue has been migrated from [#1239](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1239).
---
Submitted by @matthew:matrix.org
If people are hammering us too rapidly on /sync without a timeout or with too small a timeout, presumably we should insert an implicit timeout to slow them down. c.f. the current DoS from 93.92.200.183
