So, the page that Markus points to describes heeding the replication lag
limit as a recommendation. Since running a bot is a privilege, not a
right, why isn't the "recommendation" a requirement instead of a
recommendation?

How do you do add "hunderds (if not
thousands)" items per minute?
Usually
1) concurrency,
2) low latency.
In fact, it is not hard to get this. I guess Andra is getting speeds of
20-30 items because their bot framework is throttling the speed on purpose.
If I don't throttle WDTK, I can easily do well over 100 edits per minute in
a single thread (I did not try the maximum ;-).
Already a few minutes of fast editing might push up the median dispatch
lag sufficiently for a bot to stop/wait. While the slow edit rate is a
rough guess (not a strict rule), respecting the dispatch stats is mandatory
for Wikidata bots, so things will eventually slow down (or your bot be
blocked ;-). See [1].
