runTestAndWait() often causes 429 Too Many Requests errors

[rejhgadellaabsl]

I noticed that runTestAndWait() has recently started to throw 429 errors. It seems to be caused by the polling the function performs.

Related: I tried to set a high number for the pollResults option (we used the default, which shouldn't cause 429 either imo :)), but it doesn't seem to do anything, the status updates (e.g., Waiting at the front of the queue...) are printed at the same-ish interval regardless of what I configure.

wpt.runTestAndWait( url, {
  location: 'gce-europe-west4',
  connectivity: 'Cable',
  runs: 1,
  firstViewOnly: true,
  keepOriginalUserAgent: true,
  pollResults: 30,
  timeout: 120,
  lighthouse: false,
})

Testing is in progress, please be patient
