What is Rate Limiting?
Rate limiting caps how many requests a client can make in a time window, throttling clients that exceed the allowance.
How it works
Limits can apply per IP, per account, per session, or per fingerprint. Sophisticated attackers spread load across thousands of identities to stay under each cap.
Why it matters for auto marketplaces
It slows bulk abuse but is blind on its own; distributed botnets treat simple rate limits as a speed bump, not a wall. For your marketplace, that means your listing data stay protected and buyers and dealers get a fair experience.
How LotWall detects it
LotWall scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real buyers and dealers. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your marketplace.
