Rate limit #1296

Description

@stbischof

I try to adjust my client that i can work with the x-ratelimit .

the docs say:
https://docs.clearlydefined.io/docs/get-involved/using-data

All other endpoints are max 2K requests per minute.

after running 5 requests like:

curl -X GET "https://api.clearlydefined.io/definitions/npm/npmjs/%40yarnpkg/lockfile/1.1.13" -H "accept: */*" -v

I expected to have
x-ratelimit-remaining: 1995

bit is was

x-ratelimit-limit: 2000 
x-ratelimit-remaining: 1893
x-ratelimit-reset: 1742743739

this way it is hard to calc when and how often i can do requests, since the number remaining seems to decreases for each request differently

if i use the

post on definitions i always get

x-ratelimit-limit: 0 
x-ratelimit-remaining: 0
x-ratelimit-reset: 174xxxxxxx

so i never know before when i get an 429.

what is the best way to respect your api restrictions but can do efficient requests
