Sliding Window
A time-window approach to rate limiting in which the quota at any moment is evaluated by looking back over a full window period. It eliminates the flaw of the fixed window approach, which allows double bursts at window boundaries.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Sliding windows, session windows and tumbling windows are the three basic operators of streaming feature computation; sliding windows suit continuously updated metrics, while session windows align with the natural boundaries of a call or a top-up behavior.
A rolling window means the system calculates the limit based on the cumulative number of requests or tokens over a recent period (such as 3 hours or 24 hours), and as time passes, quota consumed earlier automatically slides out of the window and is released, so there is no clear "reset moment."
ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW in SQL assumes there is exactly one row of data per day; if the collector skips a certain day, the window will unexpectedly stretch to 8 days.
A rolling 60-second window eliminates the fixed window's flaw of allowing bursts of up to twice the limit at the boundary.
In a constrained operator system, time-series operators can only read rolling windows ending at the current point in time, and cross-sectional operators can only read data at the current timestamp.
