HTTP status 429 instead of 503 on throttled requests

Hi there

nginx responds with 503 for requests discarded due to throttling (https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/).
This seems to contradict https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6585.txt, that recommends 429 (Too Many Requests) instead.

Should nginx be adjusted?

Regards
Klaus
