Summary

Ref T11773. This is an initial first step toward a more complete solution, but should make the worst case much less bad: prior to this change, the worst case was "30 second exeuction timeout". After this patch, the worst case is "no results + explanatory message", which is strictly better.

Test Plan

Made all feed stories fail policy checks, loaded home page.

  • Before adding overheating: 9,600 queries / 20 seconds
  • After adding overheating: 376 queries / 800ms

For clarity, only enforce the overheat limit if the query has a limit.

We can't currently reach the check without a limit, but this is a little easier to read and future-proofs us against reorganization of this code.
