   > But how does APISIX know about consumers? There is no consumers in the 
request headers
   
   I am sorry, I meant to say:
   
   That should still work as the forward auth plugin does not modify the ip 
address -OR- the $remote_addr nginx variable remains unchanged.
   
   P.S: limit-count does the rate-limiting based on $remote_add ngx variable 
which is the default value for the `key`. From the documentation, `limit-count` 
key means:
   
   > User specified key to base the request limiting on. If the key_type 
attribute is set to constant, the key will be treated as a constant value. If 
the key_type attribute is set to var, the key will be treated as a name of 
variable, like remote_addr or consumer_name. If the key_type is set to 
var_combination, the key will be a combination of variables, like $remote_addr 
$consumer_name. If the value of the key is empty, remote_addr will be set as 
the default key.
