Description

What happened?

Currently a client is able to enqueue an unbounded number of requests into the Dispatcher.

What did you want to happen?

One a certain number of requests are enqueued, we should either start throwing 429s back out of the client, or start blocking the threads enqueueing requests to introduce some form of backpressure upstream.

Research direction

The issue identifies the Dispatcher as the component that currently accepts an unbounded request queue. Start by inspecting the Dispatcher and its rate-limit handling, then clarify whether completion means returning 429 responses or blocking enqueueing threads. Done should include a bounded response to sustained rate-limit pressure.
