Related: #6286.

The service user type was created to identify users which do not need to consent in order to work, and are basically non-humans. These non-humans would benefit from not being rate limited since they tend to do things like span bans into a room (e.g. Mjolnir).

The current advice as per #6286 is to stick a exemption into the database, but it would probably be more sensible to just make it so that "service" users aren't affected by rate limiting.
