Adding an API operation rate limit
How to add an operation rate limit to override the rate limit scheme for an API operation.
About this task
By default, the rate limit schemes that you configure for a plan are enforced on all APIs that are packaged in the plan. To override the rate limit schemes for an operation, define an API operation rate limit.
Attention: Because the synchronization interval is 1 second, do not use the local cache
first to enforce the rate limit with a 1-second interval. With this configuration, each peer can use
all available tokens during the interval. For example, a configuration of 10 tokens per second with
3 peers results in a condition where each peer can use 10 tokens.
You can specify to use a rate limit definition group or define a rate limit scheme. When rate limit definition group is enabled, rate limit schemes are not available. Specify a group. For more information, see Configuring a rate limit definition group.
When and whether API operation rate limits are applied depends on whether the API collection enforces preflow limits. For more information, see API rate limits.
