When we test throttling API requests it doesn't actually throttle every time we run our tests.
The code in question in test_api_general.py
for i in range(15):
response = self.client.get(reverse("survey_jobs", kwargs={"version": API_VERSION}))
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_429_TOO_MANY_REQUESTS)
Problem or idea
Output from a non-throttled test failing:
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Solution or next step
We should rewrite the test so that it triggers a throttled response at the end or collect the responses and check to see if throttling occurred.
