WAF | Rate Limiting Rule support needed
I'm just wondering exactly what I need to provide in the Value header.

The path you want it to match on.
Free Rate Limiting is really limited, if you're on free plan for that site
If you need help figuring out which part of the URL is the path:
If you just want a global rate limit, you could click "Edit Expression" and type "true" and it'll match all requests to your site
There are other operators too, like "starts with" for rate limiting all under /api/*
@Chaika Godsend, thanks a bunch.
Sure, no problem
Pro plan or higher gets a fair few more fields with rate limiting:

Hostname, Query Params being the most useful there, and more counting/mitigation periods
