30 requests/s is the hard limit. You will nearly always be limited way before that by one of the multiple rate limiting mechanisms. You definitely shouldn't take that wording as "it's OK to blast up to 30 requests/s. Oh, and, yes, you can get such responses out of nowhere without having first actually gotten a backoff. In addition, the rate limits are (mostly) per IP address, so you need to also consider any SE API requests which might be being made by other things (e.g. other browser tabs, other userscripts, other browsers, other people, etc.)
