Hello,
I'm trying to understand why rate limits are being hit so early. I have a policy where I have rate limits set on an API Plan. The rate limit should kick in at about 200 req/sec. I notice that the threshold hits far sooner than that. Can someone help me understand how this is supposed to work?
Here is my assertion:
I expect failures at around 200 req/sec for a given API Key + API Plan combination. I see failures at 15 - 20 requests/second.
Here is my response from the gateway:
API plan limit exceeded
Reason: Not Setl <api-key> | <api-plan> |quota?ok|rate?failed|
Where <api-key> and <api-plan> line up with the client and plan IDs that I expect to be involved.
I'm using Jmeter to drive traffic to the gateway. The thread group uses 30 threads and only loops once. I bail the test after the first failure. The failures start at about 15-20 requests/second.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Alejandro
