+        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.
