Comhrian a dhíbirt ar ráta cuireann sé teorainn ar líon na n-iarratas is féidir le cliant a dhéanamh i bhfuinneog ama — ag cosaint córais ó dhrochuachtar, ró-ualú, agus ag cinneadh úsáid chothrom. Is comhghéar-dhearaidh córas coitianta a bhíonn ann, agus roinnt algartam agus bhreithnithe ann.
Cén fáth a bhíonn comhrian a dhíbirt ar ráta ann
✓ PROTECT against abuse → prevent attacks (brute force, scraping, DoS), excessive use
✓ PREVENT OVERLOAD → protect the system from being overwhelmed (stability)
✓ FAIR USAGE → ensure no single client monopolizes resources; tiered limits (free vs paid)
✓ COST control; protect downstream services
→ a common requirement for APIs and services.
