The default mode of the Delay node adds a blue status square when its been triggered but when in rate limiting mode, it doesn't

I add a dummy delay node below the rate limiting node so I can tell when the rate limit period has passed but I was wondering if we could have it built-in?

So can you describe when it would appear exactly and when it would go away ?

The delay node only does that for delays greater than 1 sec I think so as to reduce the amount of websocket traffic to the browser. Would want to do something similar for rate limit.
