> @huangyutongs Your feature request is valid but as of now we don't have a way to rate limit based on header. We can add the header based rate limiting by just generating and setting unique variables for a key-value pair combination in the header. Although there is a workaround, since APISIX is extensible via plugins, you can use serverless plugin to add this logic yourself. You can use `serverless-pre-function` and inside there check if the request has the key-value combination in the header. If it does, then you can set a custom variable on ngx.var.SOME_VAR and then use this `SOME_VAR` in your limit-con plugin configuration as the variable on the basis of which to rate limit. For the key-value pair, you want to add rate limiting, you can fix a variable. And for all other requests you can generate random value for that variable to simulate new user requests. This is a hack and currently there is no straightforward way of supporting this feature. > > The logic in the plugin is that the rate limiting is applied uniformly for that variable which means if the variable is `remote_addr` then the rate limiting will be applied uniformly to all client.
