Admins may receive rate limit warning emails for the /api/v1/ratelimit/usage/{bucketUuid} endpoint, which is not tracked in the rate limit dashboard nor mentioned in public-facing documentation. This article aims to explain what causes these warnings and what the impact is.

• Rate Limit Warning
• Rate Limit Dashboard
• /api/v1/ratelimit/usage/{bucketUuid} API endpoint

This specific warning is triggered by clicking the Show More option from the Rate Limit Dashboard multiple times in quick succession. Each click will load 10 additional entries in the endpoint list, and for each endpoint, an /api/v1/ratelimit/usage/{bucketUuid} API call will be made to get the usage data. The base rate limit for this endpoint is 200 requests per minute, so depending on the rate limit threshold, it may be triggered as soon as after clicking Show more 5 times.

This rate limit warning has no real impact on the user, as the endpoint is used only in the Rate Limit Dashboard. To prevent further rate limit warnings and their associated emails, space out the Show More usage.
