What's the rate limit for `/standard` endpoint?

I'm integrating an option for my bot to use the online tablebase and would like to know what's the rate limit for the /standard endpoint in order to configure a proper retry (exponential backoff) policy.

I already figured out it's way less strict than /standard/mainline one (confirmed in #61), but would love get some numbers.

The exact limits aren't documented anywhere, because they are subject to change as needed. 1 second between requests should be safe.

1 second between requests is good enough for root position probing, but definitely not for search probing then.
