Looking at scale tests, kops delete cluster spends 6 minutes trying to terminate all of the ec2 instances. In reality this shouldn't be necessary because kops also deletes the ASGs (which appear to happen much faster) and the ASGs will terminate the instances.
I dont know how the timing compares but it should at least eliminate the throttled API calls.
