[anti-censorship-team] Re: SQS rendezvous exceeded free tier usage

If I did this accounting right, we should be making a maximum of 18 requests / per client poll *attempt*. The higher than expected number could indicate that some polls are not successful and a client has to try the rendezvous method multiple times. We do have an open issue regarding SQS[2]. In any case, 17 is not so far off 25 as to indicate an attack.

Nice investigation. I guess is worth it working a bit on reducing that number of requests before SQS becomes more popular so we don't hit a very big bill on it.

We could argue a way to fit this as part of P146 S3.1, as a censor enumerating will basically DoS our SQS queue.
