A rate limit defines the maximum number of requests a user or system can make to a service or endpoint within a specified timeframe. Rate limiting helps prevent misuse or overuse of resources, such as API requests, database queries or server processes.
Without proper rate limiting, attackers can launch brute-force, denial-of-service, or credential-stuffing attacks by sending an excessive number of requests. Implementing rate limits with techniques like IP throttling, user-based quotas, or token buckets helps protect server performance and ensures fair resource usage.
