      The current error message returned from the IngressRequestRateLimiter when load shedding isn't very human-friendly:

      {
        'ok': 0.0,
        'errmsg': "Rate limiter 'ingressRequestRateLimiter' rate exceeded",
        'code': 462,
        'codeName': 'IngressRequestRateLimitExceeded',
        'errorLabels': ['SystemOverloadedError', 'RetryableError'],
      }
      

      We should update it to something that customers will more easily be able to understand, such as:

      "Request rejected: rate limit exceeded, possibly due to system overload. Throttling workload is recommended."
