Hit an unexpected 'rate limit' message while creating Studio Ghibli-style images on ChatGPT? You weren't alone.This is a great example of API traffic management techniques like Rate Limiting and Throttling. ➡️Rate Limiting - Sets a hard cap; requests are blocked 🚫 once the limit is reached until the timer resets – like being locked out after too many wrong password attempts. - Prevents abuse, ensures fair usage, and protects servers from overload. ➡️Throttling - Queues or delays excess requests ⏳, processing them at a controlled pace. Queued requests may eventually be rejected if delayed too long. Example: Rate Limiting is like riding 5 rollercoasters max 🎢, while Throttling slows the queue by pacing rides. OpenAI used both to prevent GPU overload and ensure availability. Why use these? ✅Prevent DDoS attacks ✅Avoid server crashes ✅Ensure responsiveness for all users
