RunPod's live GraphQL limits for our key are 180/min, 3,600/h and
43,200/day. The day limit is the one that ran out, and the ban lasts until
midnight UTC. Averaged over a day it allows 1,800/h, so the hourly cap is
not the binding one.

This process now counts its own GraphQL calls over a rolling hour. Past
CODERAI_RUNPOD_GQL_HOURLY_BUDGET (default 1500; 0 = off), _gql_banned()
reports true, so everything REST v2 can do goes to v2 before RunPod ever
answers 429. The budget only reroutes. It never refuses a GraphQL call on
its own, so spot rentals, which v2 cannot do, still work. The first time
the budget is reached, and every 10 min while it stays reached, it says so.
