We all found out the hard way...

Hidden cooldowns aren't something they ever tell us about. The same went for the friend invite cooldown.
This restriction should not exist.
FALSE. The restriction should definitely exist as its one of the best ways to combat fraud. I do agree with the OP that better documentation of the restriction on the other hand would be nice such as a pop up like he suggested warning you.
Yeah like
It's not that I don't want the restriction to exist
It makes complete sense considering the amount of scams and the type of scams that took place before mobile authentication was introduced
But, the way it currently works doesn't make it seem like you broke a rule and have to wait a bit. It makes it feel like trade servers are just down. Which is a bad look for those who enjoy it considering that Valve has done nothing but make trading less and less accessible with every update to their platform and games.
Scammers have probably known about this restriction since the day it was added. Something like this doesn't need to be a secret. All that keeping it a secret does is make kids freak out when they can't trade and adults angry because they were expected to keep track of a secret rule that isn't posted anywhere in their already busy lives
