Rate Limiting
تحديد معدل الطلبات
GLS-000107
Definition
Restricting how many requests a client can make in a given time period to prevent abuse.
تقييد عدد الطلبات التي يمكن للعميل تقديمها في فترة زمنية معينة لمنع الإساءة.
Why It Matters
Without rate limiting, a bot could spam 404Fault's AI endpoints and exhaust OpenAI credits in minutes.
بدون تحديد المعدل، يمكن لبوت إرسال طلبات مكثفة لنقاط AI في 404Fault واستنفاد رصيد OpenAI في دقائق.

Example Usage
“The /api/admin/glossary/patch-seed endpoint is protected by a secret token — an additional rate limiting layer preventing brute-force guessing of the token.”
“نقطة النهاية /api/admin/glossary/patch-seed محمية برمز سري — طبقة تحديد معدل إضافية تمنع تخمين الرمز بالقوة الغاشمة.”
AI Builder Tips
Avoid these mistakes when using Rate Limiting:
Only rate limiting by IP (VPNs and botnets use many IPs)
Not rate limiting AI/LLM endpoints specifically — they're expensive to abuse
