API Rate Limit Calculator
Design API rate limits and calculate per-user allowances from total capacity
API rate limiting controls how many requests a client can make within a given time window. It protects servers from abuse and ensures fair usage across all consumers.
💡
Tip: Implement exponential backoff with jitter in your API client - retry after 2s, 4s, 8s with random jitter to avoid thundering herd problems.

Fun Fact
