 == Description
 Originally reported in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/72892

 When a Contributor with with notes by performing a few actions in quick
 succession, they can easily encounter the comment flood protection message
 of "You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down." message is
 displayed.

 When the action being performed is submitting a reply or a new note, the
 action does not succeed. However if a note is being marked as resolved,
 the action is successful.

 Since the comment flooding time frame is set to 15 seconds, it is really
 easy to hit that limit using the notes feature. This is working as
 expected, but Notes are a bit different so the same flooding prevention
 may not be appropriate.

 Step-by-step reproduction instructions
 - Log in as a Contributor and create a post
 - Create two notes.
 - Reply to one.
 - Click resolve for that note.
 - Click resolve for the second one.
 - Comment and reopen one.
 - Observe comment flooding behavior.

 Refresh page and notice that flood actions were prevented.
