Stampede the gate.
The edge allows the first 5 requests per 10 seconds, then throttles the rest with a 429. Hammer it and watch the herd get turned back.

Edge rate limiting at 5 requests / 10s per key — the native Workers Rate Limiting binding, with a D1 sliding-window fallback on Pages (where that binding isn't supported yet). The window refills over time, so wait a few seconds and the gate opens again.
