Those are the limits for MediaWiki, but we don't render thumbnails
with MediaWiki in Wikimedia production (we use Thumbor instead). The
limits for Thumbor are in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/operations-puppet/browse/productio….
Thumbor only limits requests for new thumbnails, the limit in this
case is between 4 and 50 requests in 4 seconds per IP. (It's
implemented with poolcounter with workers=4, maxqueue=50, timeout=4).
They should all load eventually, if you refresh enough times.

long as nobody purges the image pages, once the image loads once it should always load
again in the future.
