Dynamic rate limit based on user type
See original GitHub issueI need a way to dynamically set the rate limit based on the user type.
For example, I want to limit users without access token & have unlimited access to users with the access token.
What I am currently using:
limiter = Limiter(key_func=identify_my_user_func)
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)
def identify_my_user_func(request: Request):
if 'access_token' not in request.query_params:
return request.client.host
return "REGISTERED_USER"
@limiter.limit("2/minute")
def some_request(request: Request)):
return data
I am trying to find a way to conditionally limit 2/minute. Basically I want to increase the limit based on the user type.

Cheers!! @laurentS
Hi @sdklab007, you should be able to use a callable to pick the limit, like:
and if you want some users to be exempted from the limit, you should also be able to do:
I hope this helps!
