These items concern rate-limit failure messages that appear to show generic wording such as 'Wait a minute' instead of a known cooldown deadline in the 60-120 second range. One is a bug report and two are fix-oriented pull requests aimed at preserving or not contradicting that reset time; their outcomes are not stated in the titles.
