Setting project to Wikimedia-Site-requests, as this request is about settings / configuration of a Wikimedia website.
Please follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap when requesting such kinds of changes. Thanks!
Ah, sorry! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Edit_throttling says this is defined by $wgRateLimits. Looking at https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt and searching for wgRateLimits I do not see how it is possible to exclude a specific IP from edit throttling. Feel free to correct me.
If it is not possible, this task probably will get declined.
This is something T204583: Create a process for raising editing rate limits similar to the six account exceptions (throttle.php) is about. I'll probably merge the proposed patch there tomorrow and then setup a throttle rule for this task.

All participants from your IP address now should have independent rate limits, same as all other users have (by default, 90 edits/minute).
