Rate-limit banner can show a projected reset time for one experiment arm

Some accounts now see an estimated reset time on the rate-limit banner; others see none.

What

When you are rate limited and no known reset time is available, the banner computes a projected time, but only for accounts whose low-priority-offer experiment arm is set to "treatment". Everyone in the control arm sees the previous behaviour, with no time shown.

Details
  • The projected value is used only when neither an active rate-limit phase nor a known reset timestamp supplies one.
  • The arm value arrives from server-side configuration, so nothing in this build decides who is in it.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
