The user is correctly throttled when making requests through the UI, but the API calls are not limited. ## Background When the [Group Import UI was created](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211807), we implemented the [rate limit in the UI](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/controllers/import/gitlab_groups_controller.rb#L59), but we missed the implementation for the [API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/api/group_import.rb) ## Proposed solution Enforce the same group request rate limits through the API, that are already enforced through the UI.
