    Hi Mohammad,

    The key in the ratelimit module is the identifier to which that limit would apply - so you can have different limits for different identifiers and then each time you remove a token referencing that key it applies to that rate-limit you have set.

    The ratelimit module is used from within gatewayscript if you are implementing it just for DataPower or need to implement something more complex than the built-in API Connect rate limits support see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=connect-understanding-rate-limits-apis-plans (I'm assuming you are using API Connect based on the community section)

    If you could share what you are trying to achieve with this then we should be able to guide you to a solution.

    Thanks

    Ricky

    Hi Ricky, I used rate-limit module for a bit and saw what it give me, now I changed my plan to rate limit product plan, which is the link you gave me. i set plan, with limit 5 request per hour, published it, do request limit not recognized and the default is set.

    API File

    Am I doing something wrong here?

    regarding the rate limit, i got it working to use the product plan rate limit. now changing in requirements: need rate limit working after I identifying the client id within the flow. that while calling the API I still didn't know the client I'm using until i reach client security policy in the assembly section. is it possible ?
