Yes, and if this is not what you want, then disable the ratelimit. That's what I am saying?
It would be useful for systemd to have "cooldown periods" for things, similar to inetd and classic init, where misbehaving things (whether services or sockets) were paused for a time (configurable even) and then returned to service. AFAIK this is a flaw in general in systemd's limits; if something exceeds them, it takes manual intervention to reset them.
