28
+ source, and configuration files.
29
+
30
+ "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
31
+ transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
32
+ not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
33
+ and conversions to other media types.
34
+
35
+ "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
36
+ Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
37
+ copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
38
+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
39
+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
45
+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
46
+ the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
47
+
48
+ "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
49
+ the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
50
+ to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
51
+ submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
52
+ or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
53
+ the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
54
+ means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
55
+ to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
56
+ communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

60
+ designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
61
+
62
+ "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity

+ subsequently incorporated within the Work.
65
+
66
+ 2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
67
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
68
+ worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
69
+ copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
70
+ publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
71
+ Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
72
+
73
+ 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
74
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
75
+ worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
76
+ (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
77
+ use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
78
+ where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
79
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
82
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
83
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
84
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
91
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
92
+ meet the following conditions:
93
+
94
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
95
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96
+
97
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
175
+
176
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
177
+
178
+ APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
179
+
180
+ To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
181
+ boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
182
+ replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
183

185
+ file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
186
+ same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
187
+ identification within third-party archives.

+ **Simple Multi-Resource Rate Limiting That Saves Unused Tokens.**
20
+
21
+ Rate limit API requests across different resources and workers without wasting your quota. Reserve tokens upfront, get refunds for what you don't use, and avoid over-limiting.
22
+
23
+ - Limits requests across multiple services (like OpenAI, Anthropic)
24
+ - Works across multiple servers/workers
25
+ - Returns unused tokens to your quota automatically
26
+ - Prevents hitting API rate limits while maximizing throughput
27
+
28
+ Note: the API may unexpectedly change with future minor versions, therefore install with:
29
+
30
+ ```bash
31
+ pip install "token-throttle[redis,tiktoken]>=0.1.7,<0.2.0"
32
+ ```

+ ### Introduction
40
+
41
+ This is a tool I built as a rewrite of [openlimit](https://github.com/shobrook/openlimit/issues/20#issuecomment-2782677483) after [not finding any good Python solutions for rate limiting](https://gist.github.com/justinvanwinkle/d9f04950083c4554835c1a35f9d22dad), especially the ones that would be token-aware and had unused token refund capability.
42
+
43
+ - Rate-limit multiple resources such as requests and tokens and apples and bananas at the same time
44
+ - This is needed because different APIs have different resource rules, e,g, Anthropic counts request and completion tokens separately.
45
+ - While this was originally intended for LLM APIs, it's fully customizable: you can limit bananas per 32-second-time-windows and apples per 2-minute-window simultaneously. You can also connect (through Dependency Injection) your own backend if you don't want Redis.
46
+ - Rate-limit multiple resource consumers (such as LLM calling applications that are using the same API key and model).
47
+ - Rate-limit same resource across multiple time-frames
48
+ - Rate-limit each resource on it's own set of quotas
49
+ - Reserve usage while the request is being completed, and then refund/adjust according to actual usage after the request completes
50
+ - Refund unused resources (such as unused tokens).
51
+
52
+ Treat this as an early preview (no unit tests or extensive testing) but it was stable and worked correctly for my use cases.
53
+
54
+ ### Illustrating use case
55
+
56
+ - Imagine you have a single API key to your provider.
57
+ - Only up to 10% of the key's throughput capacity is used by a continuously running production service.
58
+ - You want to run a massively parallelized LLM data processing workflow with the same key.
59
+ - But you need to do it without bringing down the production (or your workflow) with 429 Too Many Requests errors.
60
+ - Also, leaving latency on the table is not a good solution; you want the batch results as soon as possible.
61
+
62
+ > [!NOTE]
63
+ > Note, this example uses [BAML](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml) to call LLMs, but you can use absolutely anything, because all you need is just a way to retrieve tokens used in the request and actual tokens used in the response. Also note that (optionally) you can use already existing utilities in `token-throttle` to calculate/extract these two values automatically from OpenAI-compatible requests and responses.
64

65
+ ```python
66
+ from baml_client import b
67
+ from baml_py import Collector
68
+ token_counter = Collector()
69
+ b = b.with_options(token_counter)
70
+
71
+ limiter = create_limiter([
72
+ # Let's say your production only uses up to 10% of
73
+ # Then this should be set to 90% of your capacity
74
+ Quota(metric="requests", limit=90_000, per_seconds=60),
75
+ Quota(metric="tokens", limit=90_000_000, per_seconds=60),
76
+ ], backend=redis)
77
+
78
+ async def massively_parallelized():
79
+ input_tokens = inp_tok(await b.request.ExtractResume(...))
80
+ # e.g. max_tokens value of the request
81
+ # e.g. or 95th percentile of usual b.ExtractResume() consumption
82
+ output_tokens = 10_000
83
+
84
+ # Safe against race-condition and many clients
85
+ # because it uses Redis locks and atomic operations
86
+ reservation = await limiter.acquire_capacity(
87
+ model="gpt-4.1"
88
+ usage={
89
+ "requests": 1,
90
+ "tokens": input_tokens + output_tokens,
91
+
92
+ # Anthropic input and output tokens
93
+ # have separate rate limits:
94
+ # "input_tokens": input_tokens
95
+ # "output_tokens": output_tokens
96
+
97
+ },
98
+ )
99
+
100
+ # Request only continues here only after the capacity
101
+ # has been reserved to not be consumed by any other LLM calls
102
+ c = Collector()
103
+ b = b.with_options(collector=c)
104
+ resume = await b.ExtractResume(...)
105
+ actual_usage = {
106
+ "requests": get_total_tokens(c),
107
+ "tokens": 1,
108
+ }
109
+ await limiter.refund_capacity(actual_usage, reservation)
110
+ # Now two things happened:
111
+ # 1. Actual usage recorded
112
+ # (e.g. got a capacity refund for unused output tokens)
113
+ # (e.g. a negative refund is also possible if actual usage exceeded the expected one)
114
+ # 2. timestamp of the usage was moved to be the last token generated
115
+
116

+ ### Features
119
+
120
+ Here are the key features of `token-throttle`, explained:
121
+
122
+ - **Multi-Resource Limiting:**
123
+
124
+ - Simultaneously enforce limits on multiple distinct resource types for a single operation (e.g., limit both the number of API requests _and_ the number of tokens consumed within those requests).
125
+ - Define simultaneous different quotas for different resources (e.g., 60 requests/minute AND 1,000 requests/day AND 1,000,000 tokens/minute).
126
+
127
+ - **Accurate Capacity Management & Refunding:**
128
+
129
+ - Implements a reserve-then-adjust mechanism (`acquire_capacity` followed by `refund_capacity`).
130
+ - Initially reserves the maximum potential usage for an operation.
131
+ - Allows refunding unused capacity _or_ accounting for overuse if the actual usage differs from the reservation, ensuring limits are accurately enforced based on _actual_ consumption.
132
+
133
+ - **Asyncio Native:**
134
+
135
+ - Built from the ground up using `asyncio` for non-blocking operation, ideal for high-throughput applications interacting with external APIs.
136
+
137
+ - **Flexible Time Windows:**
138
+
139
+ - Define quotas over various time periods (e.g., per second, per minute, per hour, per day, or anything in-between) using the `per_seconds` parameter in `Quota`.
140
+ - Enforce limits across multiple windows concurrently for the same resource (e.g., limit requests per minute _and_ requests per day).
141
+
142
+ - **Correctness & Atomicity:**
143
+
144
+ - Designed to avoid common race conditions found in simpler rate limiters, especially when used with distributed backends like Redis.
145
+ - The provided Redis backend uses locks and appropriate commands to guarantee atomic updates to capacity across multiple workers/processes.
146
+
147
+ - **Pluggable Backend Architecture:**
148
+
149
+ - Core logic is separated from the storage mechanism via `RateLimiterBackend` and `RateLimiterBackendBuilderInterface` interfaces.
150
+ - Ships with a robust `RedisBackend` for distributed rate limiting.
151
+ - Allows implementing custom backends (e.g., in-memory for single process, other databases) if needed.
152
+
153
+ - **Configurable Per "Model" or Endpoint:**
154
+
155
+ - Apply different sets of `UsageQuotas` to different logical entities (referred to as `model` or `model_family` internally, e.g., specific API endpoints, different LLM versions sharing a quota).
156
+ - i.e. This allows for gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini automatically have separate quotas, while gpt-4o-20241203 and gpt-4o-20241024 are just aliases of each other but are counted in the same quota bucket instance (i.e. belong to the same model_family).
157
+ - Supports dynamic configuration lookups via a `PerModelConfigGetter` callable.
158
+
159
+ - **Extensible Usage Counting:**
160
+
161
+ - Define custom logic (`UsageCounter`) to calculate the resource usage of a given request _before_ it happens (e.g., estimate token count for an LLM request based on input messages).
162
+
163
+ - **Observability Hooks:**
164
+ - Provides callbacks (`RateLimiterCallbacks`) for monitoring key events like starting to wait for capacity, consuming capacity, refunding capacity, and detecting missing state in the backend. Includes `loguru` integration helpers.
165
+
166
+ ### Getting started
167
+
168
+ For out of the box experience just do `limiter = create_openai_redis_rate_limiter()`, and use it as in the [example-1](https://github.com/shobrook/openlimit/issues/20#issuecomment-2782677483) or [example-2](https://gist.github.com/justinvanwinkle/d9f04950083c4554835c1a35f9d22dad). Otherwise, copy the function and customize it to your needs.
