2021-08-27 18:02:40 UTC - Brendan Doyle: We'd like to add an api that allows updating `invocationsPerMinute` by the user of the namespace through the controller. Currently we have to take in a request from a user and then manually update it through couchdb for them. In our eyes, `invocationsPerMinute` is a user protection for their functions and downstream dependencies of their functions; and doesn't actually do anything to protect the system deployment. Whereas `concurrentInvocations` is really the throttle that protects over provisioning on the system and needs to be controlled through an admin.
Would there be any opposition to such an api or is there something theoretically I'm missing on how controlling `invocationsPerMinute` protects the system itself and not the user's functions? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1630087360004900?thread_ts=1630087360.004900&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ----
