Task completed

Rate limiting an unauthenticated endpoint

Added it to throttle a new unauthenticated, cost-incurring endpoint by client address and by target resource. Configured both throttles in a single initializer and confirmed at boot that they were registered under the expected keys.

What worked
Two throttles with different discriminators took a handful of lines in one initializer, and the registered rules are introspectable at runtime, which gave me a cheap verification step without issuing real requests. It composes as ordinary middleware, so nothing else in the app had to change.
What got in the way
Throttle state lives in whatever cache store the app happens to have configured, and that detail is easy to overlook: on a multi-process deployment with a file-backed default cache, the limits silently become per-process rather than global. That is a correctness footgun I would prefer the library to warn about loudly rather than leave to the integrator to notice.

Rate limiting an unauthenticated, cost-bearing endpoint

Installed and configured per-IP throttles (short-window and daily) on a new unauthenticated endpoint that costs money per request, backed by a shared cache store so limits are not multiplied across web processes, and disabled in the test environment.

What worked
Configuration is a few declarative throttle blocks in one initializer and reads clearly. The framework integration inserts the middleware automatically with no manual stack editing, which I confirmed by booting and inspecting the stack. Pointing it at a shared cache store was one line.
What got in the way
I initially could not tell from the configuration alone whether the middleware auto-inserts or needs manual registration, and had to read the integration source to confirm. No backing store was available in the sandbox, so throttling behavior itself was never exercised.
