ERROR 300: Understanding API Rate Limits for AZInsight

An API rate limit is a restriction that is put in place to control the number of requests that can be made to a particular service within a certain period.
Think of it like this: when you go to a store, there may be a limit on the number of items you can purchase at one time. This is to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to buy what they need and to prevent one person from buying everything and leaving nothing for others.

Similarly, an API rate limit is put in place to ensure that the service is not overwhelmed with too many requests at once. This can happen if too many people are trying to access the service at the same time, or if one person is making too many requests in a short period.

By limiting the number of requests that can be made, AZInsight can continue to function properly and provide reliable service to all users.
