Throttle Requests with Flask-Limiter
Apply per-route and global rate limits.

Without limits, one client can flood your API and starve everyone else. Rate limiting caps how often a caller may hit your routes.
Meet Flask-Limiter
The go-to tool is the Flask-Limiter extension. It watches incoming requests and rejects callers who go over their allowance.
