Rested XP while servers are down?

Will we be able to craft there? I was under the impression that crafting in inns was restricted to keep people from consuming rested EXP as it generated, thereby exploiting a loophole. If that's the case, we can expect these rested areas to be packed with crafters. Even well-built servers have their limits.

It's not hard to apply a 10 minutes cooldown before any rested EXP starts to be earned... Actually that's how it works on XIV. You only start accumulating rested EXP after staying for a little while in your room, it doesn't come straight away.

So if someone would be crafting in his room, he would have to wait ~10min+ between each attempt in order to receive rested EXP. Which makes it impossible to really exploit.

Fair enough. SE loves to take measures against exploitation, so I'm sure this would be a trivial addition for them.
