Hello,

We recently encountered a `ip_10_secs_limit` error as a result of a user using [iCloud Private Relay](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212614) which uses a pool of shared IPs.

Is there a way to relax this setting? I suspect we’re only just triggering this rule, and have had no problems with spam.

I found this mention [in the code](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/1ed4442c1000774d48f03c6db8b7ce7c450cd11b/lib/middleware/request_tracker.rb#L292-L300) and a `GlobalSetting.max_reqs_per_ip_per_10_seconds` but I’ve been unable to find it when searching the Discourse settings.

Thank you for any pointers!

Matt
