How to implement limit per identity? about throttlingtroll HOT 4 CLOSED

whoever has a gold subscription will have 100 requests per second, silver will have 10 requests per second, and bronze will have 1 request per second

Oh, that can be achieved with a CostExtractor.

Set the limit to 100 coins, and then a bronze chap should be charged 100 coins per request, a silver guy should pay 10 coins and a gold fellow pays just 1.

Sounds good? :)

Alternatively, is there an easier way to implement this that I am not seeing?

Hi @kayhantolga, if you want each of your 100K clients to be throttled individually, you just need to provide an IdentityIdExtractor.

As per documentation:

When IdentityIdExtractor is specified and IdentityId is not - different identityIds will automatically get their own rate counters, one counter per each unique identityId.

Code example.

Let me know if I understood your usecase correctly.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I understand the sample and have already tried it. It works quite well with a small number of clients. But in practice, injecting 100k rules will be quite challenging in terms of performance. So, I was thinking of grouping these clients. As an example, whoever has a gold subscription will have 100 requests per second, silver will have 10 requests per second, and bronze will have 1 request per second. This way, I only need to inject 3 rules. Additionally, I need to decide the user's rule in the IdentityIdExtractor.

Weirdly, I thought about that before but couldn't figure out how to implement it. But when I looked again, now it looks quite easy. Thanks a lot.
