API Connect

Hi everyone,

I have an API configured with a rate limit of 3 requests per hour. I would like to know if there's a way to reset or bypass this rate limit within the same hour once it has been exceeded. Specifically, after hitting the limit, is it possible to reset the count and allow more requests within that hour?

Any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

As the consumer? No obviously not, that would be a security issue.

As the provider the counts get reset if you republish the product but that's a bit drastic.

If the rate limit is only a soft limit then the consumer can continue to make calls, it's only if it was a hard limit that they'd get blocked with 429s. The overage is obviously tracked in analytics and you can bill them for it.
