More about API Rate Limiting:
API Rate Limiting is a technique for restricting the number of API requests allowed over a specific time period for each user, client, or agent. Rate limits protect infrastructure, ensure fair access, and enforce compliance, particularly in public or enterprise plugin ecosystems and LLM orchestration.
Proper rate limiting is critical for operational stability and can be enforced with tokens, quotas, or dynamic usage checks.
