Rate limiting for 429 requests is not done on a website basis, but on a 
per-IP basis. We're still tuning the thresholds, and I've adjusted them 
after reviewing the usage that lead to your block yesterday and changed 
the thresholds.

The zoom, pan, and zoom that Leaflet does (flyTo API, I assume) to move 
from location to location loads about 2000 tiles on a 4k display, and 
could load more depending on resolution settings. This is more than I 
had expected when I set the limits, so I've adjusted the our settings to 
allow it.
