The ratelimit here is only for #CP, and its rate is not counted together
with other types of faults.  If a task gets here, it will exit.  The only
condition the ratelimit will trigger is when multiple tasks hit #CP at once,
which is unlikely.  Are you suggesting that we do not need the ratelimit
here?
I'm trying to first find out why is it there.

Is this something you've hit during testing and thought, oh well, this
needs a ratelimit or was it added just because?
