The linked MacRumors thread is from before this scandal even came to light, while Apple was still throttling. The thread begins in 2016 and ends in 2017. iOS 11.3 came out March 2018, removing the throttle.

Unfortunately I can't check the reddit thread at the moment, as its blocked at work.

EDIT: Reddit thread is also from prior to lifting the throttle.

The throttle was not lifted in 11.3. They added a switch so users could disable it.
