Rate Limiter

On Public Maps, user traffic and requests can trigger a web page crash. On rare occasions, heavy usage may even originate from malicious sources resulting in a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. This can shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to users.

To regulate traffic and prevent attacks, enable Rate Limiter options.
