Description

We need to design a rate limiting mechanism for APIs. It's reported by some API service providers that their API nodes are likely being abused.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating API-node request handling in the C++ code and reviewing the reported provider abuse cases; define the rate-limit scope and acceptance criteria before implementation, with completion requiring a tested mechanism that addresses API abuse.
