Hey, I know you added this a long time ago and maybe you're not interested in maintaining it, but I noticed there's some breaking changes introduced in bottleneck v2. I fixed those in my fork. Also, for free plans the rate limit is 2 requests per second so I adjusted for that as well as default.

Saved me lots of time, thanks 🙏
