Just to check my understanding:
- this limits attempts by the same logged-in user for any phone
- our rack-attack should limit attempts by IP address to submit this form
So we shouldn't need to worry about different users spamming different phones because the other rule covers it

Yep, exactly. The OtpRateLimiter will still ensure a specific phone number is not receiving excessive OTPs, and rack-attack places IP rate limits around the routes where OTPs are sent.

This PR adds a per-account rate limit for sending new phone number confirmation OTPs to augment the existing per-phone-number rate limits.
