"Slow down" message shown when updating Notes too quickly #72892

Description

When a user interacts with with notes by performing a few actions in quick succession, they can easily encounter the comment flood protection message of "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down." message is displayed.

When the action being performed is submitting a reply or a new note, the action does not succeed. However if a note is being marked as resolved, the action is successful.

Since the comment flooding time frame is set to 15 seconds, it is really easy to hit that limit using the notes feature. This is working as expected, but Notes are a bit different so the same flooding prevention may not be appropriate.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Create two notes.
  2. Reply to one.
  3. Click resolve for that note.
  4. Click resolve for the second one.
  5. Comment and reopen one.
  6. Observe comment flooding behavior.
  7. Refresh page and notice that the statuses are accurate but the last comment did not save.
