class Rack::Throttle::Hourly

This rate limiter strategy throttles the application by defining a maximum number of allowed HTTP requests per hour (by default, 3,600 requests per 60 minutes, which works out to an average of 1 request per second).

Note that this strategy doesn't use a sliding time window, but rather tracks requests per distinct hour. This means that the throttling counter is reset every hour on the hour (according to the server's local timezone).

@example Allowing up to 3,600 requests per hour

use Rack::Throttle::Hourly

@example Allowing up to 100 requests per hour

use Rack::Throttle::Hourly, :max => 100
