My SaaS is sending monitoring notifications using signal-cli, and I regularly run into rate limits (enforced by Signal servers, not signal-cli), especially when sending to new numbers/usernames.

To the author--do you have any plans on how to work around that?

I guess they've hit the limit, because the bot isn't responding for me.
Why should the author work around Signal's rate limiting? Are you asking the author to enable spamming?
GP is presumably asking what their plans are once the service gets popular, runs into the ratelinit, and cannot send any notifications at all (or with significant delays) to the clients.
Messaging is internally rate limited and capped per recipient. And it uses a sender pool.
I use per-recipient internal rate limiting too, that alone is not enough, especially for new numbers. I'm not using a sender pool though.
