Python-JIRA package ignores Rate Limit restrictions - (with Tag)

[Yuval Zaltz]

Hi all,
We are using JIRA Data Center 8.13.9
This question relate to Rate Limit and Python-JIRA package
We have enabled Rate Limit feature - we have blocked all users but a single one, that user got 4 tokens a minute

When accessing JIRA using Rest API directly - the user is blocked after 4 calls till the next timeframe
but when we are using the Python-JIRA package we are able to send unlimited calls and make more then 4 changes with that user.

This is surprising as I understand that Python-JIRA package is using rest calls.

has anyone tired this use case? and/or can explain/test it?
