Rate limiting restricts the number of requests a user or IP address can make within a specific timeframe. This helps prevent attackers from overwhelming the server with a flood of connection attempts, effectively slowing down or blocking a DDoS attack. Discord utilizes rate limiting as part of its DDoS protection.
