Identity and security
Rate limiting
A rule that restricts how many operations a caller or group may perform within a defined period. It helps control overload, abuse or spending. The counting key and limits should fit the operation being protected.
You might see: rate limit, request throttling, traffic limit
In a real project
The workshop limits repeated booking attempts from the same account. A rejected attempt receives a useful message explaining when another attempt may be possible.
A common mistake
Using a traffic limit instead of an ownership check. Reducing repeated unauthorized requests does not make the first unauthorized request acceptable.
Put it into practice
