About Rate Limiting vs Throttling
Both techniques are used to restrict users from accessing your website resources too often.
- Rate Limiting returns "status 429" responses for the overloads.
- Throttling adds delays to responses or rejects the responses.
In Django REST Framework, overload requests are immediately rejected (not delayed) and may include a Retry-After header telling how many seconds to wait before trying again.
