To effectively prevent over usage abuse, implementing throttling settings is crucial. Throttling helps to control the amount of data or the number of requests that a user can make to your chatbot within a specified period of time.
This ensures that no single user can overwhelm your system. Here are some steps to set up throttling settings:
Identify Usage Limits: Determine the maximum requests or data processed per minute, hour, or day based on system capacity and usage patterns.
Implement Rate Limiting: Enforce usage limits with rate limiting at the application level, using middleware, or at the network level with API gateways or load balancers.
Provide Feedback: Notify users when usage limits reached with the messages, and temporary blocks until the limit resets.
Adjust Limits as Needed: Regularly review and adjust throttling settings based on performance and user feedback to maintain balanced resource management.
