Increase rate limit for ingredients check API from 150 to 350 requests per minute

[philipbrembeck]

Reason for change:
The ingredients check API was frequently hitting the rate limit even with normal usage patterns. Users entering only a few ingredients were reaching the limit within a minute, impacting the user experience and functionality of the feature.

Changes made:

• Increased the rate limit from 150 to 350 requests per minute.

Performance considerations:

• We've monitored the API usage patterns and determined that this increase should accommodate typical user behavior without significantly impacting our system's performance.
• We will continue to monitor the API usage and system performance after this change to ensure it doesn't negatively impact our infrastructure.

Risk analysis:

• The primary risk is potential increased load on our servers. However, based on our current infrastructure capacity and usage patterns, we believe this risk is minimal.
• We have implemented additional monitoring to quickly identify any issues that may arise from this change.

Next steps:

• Closely monitor API usage and system performance for the next week after deployment.
• Consider implementing more granular rate limiting or user-specific limits if we observe any abuse of the increased limit.
