Replace "Rate Limit" with "Rate Throttle" #2738

@seat-01

Description

@seat-01

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

When "Rate Limit" triggers, the current (potentially unattended) workflow aborts.

Proposed solution

Possible Solution/Workaround

Instead of rate-limiting, apply a reate-throttling, so the workflow does not abort.

E.g.: at 50% rate, throttle all further requests a bit, thus throughput goes down.

Note the fleet, subagents, unattended => all this is advertised copilot cli functionality.

So, if a user is n % too fast, throttle n % so usage goes down.

Please Realize

Copilot Cli is not usable currently, at least not for complex workflows, nightly research loops etc.

Todays update equals with "leave copilot cli behind, you can't produce with it"
