GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: What is the default limit set for requests per minute/second
<!-- Answer --> The default global rate limit in Superset 5.0.0 is set to 50 requests per second, controlled by the `RATELIMIT_APPLICATION` setting in `config.py`. This is enabled by default in production environments and is intended as a security measure to prevent DDOS attacks. You can adjust this limit by overriding the value in a custom `superset_config.py` file or by setting the appropriate environment variable. For example, increasing `RATELIMIT_APPLICATION` to a higher value will allow more requests per second and help avoid 429 errors during load testing or with higher user concurrency. See the relevant config and comments [here](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/config.py). When a user accesses a dashboard, Superset typically sends one API request per chart (slice) on the dashboard, plus additional requests for metadata and annotations if present. For a dashboard with 10 charts, expect at least 10 concurrent requests, and more if there are filters or annotation layers. Complex dashboards can quickly approach or exceed the default rate limit, especially with multiple users or automated load testing. See the chart loading logic [here](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/dashboard/actions/dashboardState.js) and [here](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/components/Chart/chartAction.js). For a medium-sized workload (for example, 10–50 users and dashboards with 10–20 charts), you may need to set the rate limit significantly higher than the default, depending on your expected concurrency and dashboard complexity. It's best to monitor your actual request volume during peak usage and tune the rate limit accordingly. Always test changes in a staging environment before applying them to production. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
