Description

A node in a reboot loop (observed here due to low battery) reports its position every cycle with want_ack=true. In a well connected mesh that causes tons of nodes to reply back with their own position flooding the mesh as these replies are not rate limited as regular position reporting is.

Relevant log output

[RCGV1]

I think nodes should have a rate limit for responding to want_acks packets or even rate limit nodes that are sending packets way too often
