Add rate limiting for compression

**Problem**
When working with utils, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

No file, test, or entry point is named; first locate the compression utility and its current error-handling path. Clarify the rate-limiting behavior, limits, and expected error messages before implementation, then add tests that demonstrate the agreed behavior.
