Ratelimit ​

Ratelimits many keys in a very intuitive interface.

lua
<T>(
	Limit: number,
	Interval: number
) -> (T?) -> boolean
<T>(
	Limit: number,
	Interval: number
) -> (T?) -> boolean

This function takes a limit and interval for resetting said limit, and returns a function that takes a key and returns whether or not the key has been used more than the limit.

lua
-- 3 calls every 10 seconds
local LimitCheck = Ratelimit(3, 10)

LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- false
-- 3 calls every 10 seconds
local LimitCheck = Ratelimit(3, 10)

LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- true
LimitCheck("Key1") -- false

TIP

The limit is inclusive, use the maximum amount of calls you want to allow as the limit.

Ratelimits can also be used without keys.

lua
-- 3 calls every 10 seconds
local LimitCheck = Ratelimit(3, 10)

LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- false
-- 3 calls every 10 seconds
local LimitCheck = Ratelimit(3, 10)

LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- true
LimitCheck() -- false
