This limiter is amazing. One question though.

Cannot find out how / where it performs the ban on the user if they exceeded the requests? Is it a IP ban or just returning false in javascript?

Banning, users, and blacklisting IP addresses are all outside of the scope of this library. If you want to detect users exceeding their rate limit, use tryRemoveTokens and check for a false return value.
