I don't think that this is a message about a frame, so whatever nftables does
makes no difference.
It's a message from hostapd saying that it got no reply.

I think you'd have to change hostapd code.
If your goal is to limit that message to once/hour for all stations, that
probably easy.  If you want to limit it to once/hour/station, then that might
require more infrastructure to remember things.
