HttpProtectOptions.maxRequests property

Requests an address may accumulate before it is answered 429.

Signature:

maxRequests?: number;

Default Value

200

Remarks

Exceeding it yields VerificationStatus.LIMITED and HTTP 429, and the address recovers by going quiet for HttpProtectOptions.ttl seconds — this threshold carries no lasting consequence on its own.

Choose the value against a continuous stream rather than a rate, because that is what the counter measures (see HttpProtectOptions.ttl). At the defaults, 200 requests inside 10 seconds trips it, and so does one request per second for 200 seconds — the second of which is ordinary behaviour for a real user on a busy page. Raise it, or raise ttl and this together, if legitimate sessions are long-lived.

Also settable as HTTP_PROTECT_MAX_REQUESTS; a value passed here wins.
