Rate Limiting Vs Throttling Both are used to control API traffic and protect systems , but let’s see how do they differ. 👉Rate Limiting : ➡️Rate limiting is used to apply a hard cap on requests say 100 per hour per user and if limit is exceeded reject excess ones. ➡️ Goal of rate limiting is to prevent abuse and enforce quotas. ➡️ Rate limit immediately blocks user request if it exceeds the limit. 👉 Throttling: ➡️ Throttling is used to slow down request or queue them to maintain a steady flow.
