Answer
To address the issue of reaching the rate limit during your testing phase due to bot activity, you can consider a few strategies:
1. Rate Limiting Configuration: Novu's API implements a rate limiting mechanism where different plans have specific request limits. For instance, the free tier allows 60 requests per second for event triggers (1) . If these limits are consistently being exceeded, consider implementing additional internal rate limiting on your end to prevent abuse by bots.
2. Requesting a Limit Increase: For substantial testing or higher usage requirements, you might consider upgrading to a business plan which offers higher rate limits (600 requests per second for event triggers). However, this involves additional costs.
3. Resetting Limits: Directly resetting or increasing limits on the free tier is typically not supported without upgrading to a higher tier. If the bot activity represents a significant issue, it's advisable to implement bot detection and mitigation strategies on your application to prevent such abuse.
4. Contacting Support: If the situation is exceptional, reaching out to Novu's support might provide specific guidance or temporary relief, especially if the bot activity is hindering your evaluation of the service.
Remember, consistently hitting rate limits might indicate a need to reassess the application's notification strategy or consider a plan upgrade for higher limits to accommodate your usage patterns.
For more detailed information on rate limiting and handling higher volumes of requests, you can refer to the Novu documentation on API rate limiting.
