Description


A new Rate Limiter block has been added to Analytics Builder. This block suppresses all but the first message received per specified time period.

Preview
This feature is in Public Preview, that is, it is not enabled by default and may be subject to change in the future.

The Rate Limiter block has the following outputs:

  • Rate limited output:
    The first input activation in the specified time period is sent to this output; subsequent activations within that period are sent to the suppressed output.
    When the time period has elapsed, the next input activation starts a new period and is again sent to this output.
  • Suppressed message output:
    Input activations that occur more than once within the specified time period are sent to this output.
  • Number of suppressed messages within the current period:
    Incremented every time a message is suppressed. Resets to zero when a message is not suppressed.
