Rate Limiting

Fixed Window Rate Limiting

In Jylo, a fixed window of 1 minute is applied, during which a client can make up to 100 requests. If a client exceeds these 100 requests within the minute, all subsequent requests will be denied with an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) status code for the remainder of the time window.

Client-Side Rate Limiting Tips

• Implement Request Queuing: Queue your requests and release them gradually to avoid breaching the rate limit.

• Adaptive Request Timing: Dynamically adjust the rate of requests based on server responses, ensuring requests are always below the threshold limit.

• Exponential Backoff Strategy: On receiving a 429 status code, increase the wait time gradually before retrying, to ease pressure on the server.
