Hello, It has been noted by Nicolas (cc-ed in the email) during a doc review that the rate-limit plugin currently defaults to 503 HTTP response code for requests exceeding the configured rate limit. HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response code might be a better fit: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429
>From a quick discussion with Zexuan Luo, the following info was mentioned: "503 was initially used because Nginx's limit_req_status also uses 503 as the default. However, Nginx made its decision long before 429 became popular." Hope to follow up with the dev team to see if and when this change will be made, as documentation team would like to change the relevant doc(s) accordingly. Thanks, Traky Deng
