Description
**Problem**: We're currently displaying a timeout error message when running into rate limits as a result of refreshing a dashboard multiple times within a short timeframe. This is misleading and the suggested solution (reducing the time frame) doesn't make sense in this case.
**Proposed solution**: Update the error message for this case to inform the customer that a rate limit has been reached. "Rate limit reached. Please try again later." If we can be more specific about the timeframe, even better.

Research direction
Start by tracing the dashboard refresh timeout and rate-limit handling described in the issue, using the related Dashboards Widget Timeouts issue for context. Done means the affected case clearly reports that a rate limit was reached, with a more specific timeframe if available, instead of displaying a timeout message.
