New Rate Limiting Feature Broken?
Figured I'd move the discussion from workers-and-pages-discussions to here.
Hey all,
We are testing out the beta rate limiting feature for Cloudflare workers and it appears that it is somewhat broken. I understand that this is eventually consistent, but it appears that this consistency is never achieved.
For the sake of testing, I have set the threshold very low - 1 within 60 seconds.
I then run a tool which sends HTTP requests to the endpoint in question and returns whether it was rate limited. I have uploaded the screenshots which shows the result of running each request sequentially. Bearing in mind the requests start at 1:39:21 PM and finishes at 1:39:45 PM which IMO is a substantial amount of time given for things to become "consistent" especially given the limit being "1".
Is there some gotchas I am unaware of? This seems frankly bizarre. The key is based on my IPV6 address and I've ensured that this remains consistent for each request.
