Previously if the num online nodes was lower than a certain amount our node would send telemetry at a higher interval than configured, this leads to congestion in scenarios where a node has a bidirectional mesh connection where it doesn't see many nodes but transmits well. It is also not typical for a setting to be used more like a suggestion, the broadcast interval should be a minimum interval.

This patch makes sense. It might be worth checking what the firmware implemented hard minimum limit is and making the minimum a bit more flexible in small networks? Just to make sure there isn't someone out there relying on this we're cutting off.

The original purpose of scaling down the coefficient was to not hamstring small off-grid and backpacking networks into the same coarse broadcast interval constraints as large public ones

I think we should let the user have more decision over the interval especially now that you have to manually enable it.

I don't think that for a hiking network you would need to know clients battery percent less than every 30 min
