Rate limits and concurrency​

rate_limit:
  enabled: true
  requests_per_second: 5
  burst_size: 5

request:
  parallelism: 10
  timeout: 120
  retry:
    max_retries: 5
    backoff_strategy: exponential
    initial_delay: 1
    max_delay: 30
    retry_on_status: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]

Concurrency respects the rate limiter. Feature example: examples/features/concurrency-retry/.

A warning is logged when SSL is disabled. See Troubleshooting.
