We noticed that when SEDM marked a request as failed (which happens every now and then), BTSbot would retrigger, and that could happen multiple times.
Here we make sure to keep recently (less than 12 hours) failed requests as "existing requests", to avoid triggering again. It's essentially a 12-hour timeout, which means we don't re-trigger until the next time (that is, if the requests is still failed, but most of the time these are re-processed manually in the daytime).
