Description

At large events (e.g. Mozilla all-hands) enough people are behind a single IP that they hit the anonymous gist limit. We should show that rate limit error to the end user.

Research direction

Trace the gist-creation flow and identify where errors from anonymous gist creation are currently handled. Reproduce the rate-limit response and make the end-user-visible result distinguish that failure; done means the returned rate-limit error is shown instead of being hidden.
