Could you please consider changing the rate limit on Web SDK Join method from 1 request/10 seconds to say 1 request/5 seconds?

**Why?**  
What we see usually happens is, that users enter invalid webinar password when joining the meeting (1st request) or the webinar link hosts use does not have it. When we then register `WRONG_MEETING_PASSWORD` error, we ask the user to enter the password again.  
However users usually enter the password way faster than 10 seconds (2nd request), only to get delayed 10 seconds by rate limit.

This is very poor UX 🙁

Even more relaxed rate limit would still prevent spam joins of meetings IMHO.

Thank you
