Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

After https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/9624 we have fixed timings in typing.

But 10 seconds of throttling with 15s waiting seems a bit long. We may want to change this constant in the future.

The problem is, that desktop and mobile clients have multi-versioning. For proper working, all clients of one server should have the same timing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add those constants to Talk server's capabilities.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #9624 and the discussion in pull request #9689 to understand the existing typing timings and why clients need a shared value. Then locate Talk server capabilities and determine how those timing constants should be exposed; done means the requested values are available to clients consistently.
