Subject: [PATCH] core: Delay start rate limit check when starting a unit
ff479f
ff479f
Doing start rate limit checks before doing condition checks made
ff479f
condition check failures count towards the start rate limit which
ff479f
broke existing assumptions (see #21025). Run the rate limit checks
ff479f
after the condition checks again to restore the previous behaviour.
