> What if we don’t have control over the frequency of requests (e.g. using a service like Feedly)? Do those happen often enough that we’d need to host the app ourselves?
I know the wording is a bit vague, and I know that most services don't let you customize this. I added it after I suddenly started receiving tons of traffic caused by, I suspect, a single user. This person was purposefully fetching feeds multiple times a minute.
Anyhow, if you aren't actively trying to abuse the service, you should be good. Some RSS readers have "boost" features to fetch feeds more frequently (often a paid feature).
Once I am able to add some good caching, then I may be able to remove that notice. But right now, the service is kinda overloaded and that is why some of the services (Twitter and Instagram in particular) may give you errors at the moment.
