Syntropy.RateLimiter (syntropy v0.2.0)

Copy Markdown

Dependency-free token-bucket rate limiter for the external API surface.

Buckets live in an ETS table owned by this GenServer and are keyed by {identity, class} where identity is a hashed bearer token or the peer IP. Refill is computed lazily from elapsed time — no sweep timers. Buckets are sized to the per-minute limit (read_per_minute, write_per_minute), so a full-burst client can spend a minute of budget at once and then refills continuously.
