Rate-limit
Rate Limiting prevents the scenario where one client sends too many requests, which starves the requests of other clients.
In computer systems often a simplified algorithm is used to implement a Retry Mechanism with Rate Limiting to prevent a DoS. (This is still considered “Exponential Backoff”, even though this is not a closed-loop control system). An example: If there is an Exception when sending a request, the system will wait 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …, seconds respectively before trying again. To prevent very long delays after the situation has been restored, the maximum delay is often capped. I.e.: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 8, … seconds between retries.
