what is the network metric for?
preventing purchase exploits in a game that's hosted on roblox. this is a donation game. there are a few products players purchase in roblox games. well two really for this type of game, game passes and clothing items. with game passes we have acces to an endpoint that gives us an "updated" value that hold true. anytime a price has changed the updated value will update. however, this is not the case for clothing items for some reason. and we can't check the price in the game because the way roblox handles clothing purchases. it's all done on the client. and we can't jut make requests to check because we will get rate limited (500 per minute). so the api i have set up just makes those checks for me during any pending transactions.

what is the network metric for?
i'm curious to see how much this will cost me each month. the api is basically aa single interval while there are pending transactions and then i have a for loop going through each pending transaction making a request to another api each second and storing that information. then when i request the information i then cache the pending transaction.
