That's a good point, Stephaine. Payload limiting could definitely help in this situation. But I think rate limiting is still the primary concern. We need to control the number of requests coming in, regardless of their size.

But wait, what about payload limiting? If the API requests are large in size, that could also contribute to the overload. Maybe we should consider limiting the size of the payloads as well.

I agree with Misty. Rate limiting is the way to go. We can set a maximum number of requests per second or minute to prevent the application from being overwhelmed.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The application was overloaded with API requests, so we need a way to limit the number of requests that can be made. I think rate limiting is the best option here.
