Errors with LT_REQ_LIMIT=0 to avoid use with no API Keys

Too Many Requests

Error using Translate File function by passing API Key.

Result the URL given by the JSON field translatedFileUrl can't be downloaded (give rate limited)

Example :

http://libretranslate.exemple.com/download_file/102ecxd8-0849-48a9-aa42-9ef2e98a7f54.thefile_en.pdf

{"error":"Ralentissement : 0 per 1 minute"}

And deeper, the problem is something like the LT_API_KEYS_RESTRICTED function is missing ?
