Mastodon.py can try to respect rate limits in several ways, controlled by ratelimit_method.
"throw" makes functions throw a MastodonRatelimitError when the rate
limit is hit. "wait" mode will, once the limit is hit, wait and retry the request as soon
as the rate limit resets, until it succeeds. "pace" works like throw, but tries to wait in
between calls so that the limit is generally not hit (How hard it tries to not hit the rate
limit can be controlled by ratelimit_pacefactor). The default setting is "wait". Note that
even in "wait" and "pace" mode, requests can still fail due to network or other problems! Also
note that "pace" and "wait" are NOT thread safe.
