Impossible to bypass THROTTLE - Django REST

I'm trying to test throttling in some test cases with live_server and it's a pain in the butt.

After spending way too much time trying to override LiveServer I figured it might be simpler to just disable throttling for most test cases with an autouse fixture like below.

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def bypass_throttle(settings):
    settings.REST_FRAMEWORK["DEFAULT_THROTTLE_CLASSES"] = []
    settings.REST_FRAMEWORK["DEFAULT_THROTTLE_RATES"] = {}
    yield

However this again has no effect. Is there any reliable way to do this?

Start by reproducing the autouse bypass_throttle fixture with live_server, then inspect how the project and Django REST Framework load throttle settings during tests. Done means identifying a reliable way to disable throttling for most test cases while preserving tests that explicitly exercise throttling.
