 * The rate limit state of a visitor is forgotten about a minute after it has fully recovered (all buckets refilled) instead of after a day without use, which frees the memory of one-off visitors such as floods of new IPs. The `visitors` stat and the `ntfy_visitors_total` metric therefore count the visitors of roughly the last minute, not of the last day ([#2126](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/2126))
