This adheres to the current Pushshift API rate-limit of 1 request per second.

https://pypi.org/project/pushshift.py

A minimum rate limit of 1 request per second is used as a default per consultation with Pushshift’s maintainer, /u/Stuck_in_the_matrix.

Can't just have an interval parameter. You have an implicit n=1: this needs to be explicit and modifiable. At least in theory, the pushshift server has the ability to adjust throttling up or down. Rate limit state is supposed to be reported out to clients via the /meta endpoint. Sounds like the throttling system has been changed without corresponding updates to this endpoint. Further discussion in issue #80.
