    1. Leaky Bucket is implemented similarly to Token Bucket where OVER_LIMIT is returned when the bucket is full. However tokens leak from the bucket at a consistent rate which is calculated as duration / limit. This algorithm is useful for metering, as the bucket leaks allowing traffic to continue without the need to wait for the configured rate limit duration to reset the bucket to zero.

    1. The rate limit can be just that - a limit rather than also dishing out punishment via the 24 hour block

      Why can't a plain rate limit (without additional blocking) by used even if not authenticated? Seems like it could.
