Hello,
I would like to make a suggestion regarding the rate limits.
The /accounts/ endpoint currently has a limit of 1 request per second and 15 requests per minute. In my opinion, the first of these two limits is unnecessary and creates additional difficulties for developers.
Often, when a user interacts with multiple windows or triggers several requests simultaneously, they quickly hit the per-second limit. This is problematic for two reasons:
-
It requires more complex application logic, as well as retries, which ultimately only adds extra load to your system.
-
In some cases, a client making 10 requests per minute can generate more load than one who makes 3 requests per second but then does nothing for the rest of the minute.
So, why not just keep the per-minute limit? Even if someone makes 15 requests in a single second, they wouldn’t be able to make any more for the rest of the minute anyway.
Thank you in advance for the explanation.
