`<......> last heard 2 hours ago, 15.971 announces/hour in the last 60 minutes, 2 active rate violations, new announces allowed in 76 minutes`

why on earth would an instance send 15k announces in such a short time period?

I think that's 15.971, so just under 16 announces per hour, not 15971 or 15.971k announcements

That's still pretty high but it could always just be someone restarting frequently to test settings or something of the sort
