Leaky Bucket Algorithm
A rate limiting algorithm in which requests enter a queue and flow out at a fixed rate. It smooths bursty traffic but does not permit bursts, and is commonly used for network traffic shaping.
Timeline (last 90 days)
LLM providers enforce a token bucket or leaky bucket algorithm with short-term rate smoothing, rather than a hard per-minute batch counter.
The quota and rate limiting layer usually uses the token bucket or leaky bucket algorithm, with counters stored in high-speed caches such as Redis, using atomic operations to ensure no over-issuance under concurrency.
