SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to regulating message flow and token usage in Convex Agent workflows, preventing abuse and controlling costs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Per-user and global limits: Define and enforce limits to ensure fair use across users and global capacity.
Burst handling and budgeting: Support fixed-window and token-bucket strategies to accommodate bursts while staying within quotas.
Use Case: In a multi-user chat, the skill helps prevent abuse by capping messages per user per minute and tracking token usage for billing.

Quick Start

Install or reference the rate-limiter library in your project, initialize the rate limiter with your configured rules, and apply checks before generating responses in agent workflows. Example: create a rateLimiter with per-user and global limits, then call rateLimiter.limit(ctx, "sendMessage", { key: userId, throws: true }); on each user message.

Frequently Asked Questions about Convex Agents Rate Limiting

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce per-user rate limits in Convex Agents?▼

To enforce per-user rate limits in Convex Agents, initialize a configurable rate limiter and call the limit check within your agent workflows before processing messages, passing the user ID as the key to cap usage.

What is the best way to control API token usage budgets for multi-user chat agents?▼

The best way to control API token usage budgets for multi-user chat agents is applying per-user and global rate limits. This tracks token consumption and caps messages to ensure fair access and cost control.

How do token bucket and fixed window strategies work for agent rate limiting?▼

Token bucket and fixed window strategies manage agent rate limiting by either allowing bursty interactions while staying within quotas or enforcing strict limits per defined time period, ensuring fair access across users.

Can I apply global caps to prevent abuse in bursty Convex Agent interactions?▼

Yes, you can apply global caps to prevent abuse in bursty Convex Agent interactions. The rate limiter supports global capacity limits alongside per-user thresholds to regulate message flow and control costs.

How do I configure a rate limiter for Convex Agents to throw on limit exceeded?▼

To configure a rate limiter to throw on limit exceeded, initialize your rate limiter with configured rules and call the limit function with the throws parameter set to true during the agent workflow runtime check.

When should I implement rate limiting in my AI agent workflows?▼

You should implement rate limiting in AI agent workflows when you need to prevent abuse, manage multi-user fair access, control operational costs, or handle bursty traffic patterns while staying within defined quotas.
