I think Sergey meant that this place may need to use
larger-than-default values because it prints lots of output per
instance (whereas the default limit is more tuned for cases that print
just 1 line).

I've found at least 1 place that uses DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_INTERVAL*10:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c#L8365
Probably we need something similar here.
