API Rate Limit Calculator — Throttle Threshold & Burst Capacity

1000 req/min limit, 10× burst → ~16.7 req/s sustained, 167 burst.

Example: set Requests allowed per window = 1,000, Window size (seconds) = 60, Burst multiplier = 10, then read the result.

Variable definitions

• requestsPerWindow

  Requests allowed per window

  The “Requests allowed per window” field. Default 1000; typical range 10–1000000.

• windowSeconds

  Window size (seconds)

  The “Window size (seconds)” field. Default 60; typical range 1–3600.

• burstMultiplier

  Burst multiplier

  The “Burst multiplier” field. Default 10; typical range 1–50.

• activeUsers

  Concurrent users

  The “Concurrent users” field. Default 100; typical range 1–100000.

• Closed-form math (Per-second rate = limit ÷ window seconds; burst tokens = rate × burst multiplier.) misses idle time, egress, packet loss, and reserved capacity on the real bill.
• Nothing here is uploaded for the calculation itself.
