 ## Description
 
-The `limit-count` Plugin limits the number of requests to your service by a 
given count per time. The plugin is using Fixed Window algorithm.
+The `limit-count` plugin uses a fixed window algorithm to limit the rate of 
requests by the number of requests within a given time interval. Requests 
exceeding the configured quota will be rejected.
+
+You may see the following rate limiting headers in the response:
+
+* `X-RateLimit-Limit`: the total quota
+* `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: the remaining quota
+* `X-RateLimit-Reset`: number of seconds left for the counter to reset

-        }
-    }
-}'
-```
+### Apply Rate Limiting by Remote Address
 
-You can also configure the `key_type` to `var_combination` as shown:
+The following example demonstrates the rate limiting of requests by a single 
variable, `remote_addr`.
+
+Create a Route with `limit-count` plugin that allows for a quota of 1 within a 
30-second window per remote address:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route",
+    "uri": "/get",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key_type": "var_combination",
-            "key": "$consumer_name $remote_addr"
-        }
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429,
+        "key_type": "var",
+        "key": "remote_addr"
+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:9001": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-You can also create a group to share the same counter across multiple Routes:
+Send a request to verify:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 1,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "group": "services_1#1640140620"
-        }
-    },
-    "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
-    }
-}'
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get";
 ```
 
-Now every Route which belongs to group `services_1#1640140620` (or the service 
with ID `1`) will share the same counter.
+You should see an `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` response.
+
+The request has consumed all the quota allowed for the time window. If you 
send the request again within the same 30-second time interval, you should 
receive an `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` response, indicating the request 
surpasses the quota threshold.
+
+### Apply Rate Limiting by Remote Address and Consumer Name
+
+The following example demonstrates the rate limiting of requests by a 
combination of variables, `remote_addr` and `consumer_name`. It allows for a 
quota of 1 within a 30-second window per remote address and for each consumer.
+
+Create a Consumer `john`:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "service_id": "1",
-    "uri": "/hello"
-}'
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "john"
+  }'
 ```
 
+Create `key-auth` Credential for the consumer:
+
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/2 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "service_id": "1",
-    "uri": "/hello2"
-}'
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/john/credentials"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "cred-john-key-auth",
+    "plugins": {
+      "key-auth": {
+        "key": "john-key"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
 ```
 
+Create a second Consumer `jane`:
+
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "jane"
+  }'
 ```
 
+Create `key-auth` Credential for the Consumer:
+
 ```shell
-HTTP/1.1 200 ...
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/jane/credentials"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "cred-jane-key-auth",
+    "plugins": {
+      "key-auth": {
+        "key": "jane-key"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
 ```
 
-You can also share the same limit counter for all your requests by setting the 
`key_type` to `constant`:
+Create a Route with `key-auth` and `limit-count` plugins, and specify in the 
`limit-count` plugin to use a combination of variables as the rate limiting key:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route",
+    "uri": "/get",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 1,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "key_type": "constant",
-            "group": "services_1#1640140621"
-        }
+      "key-auth": {},
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429,
+        "key_type": "var_combination",
+        "key": "$remote_addr $consumer_name"
+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-The above configuration means that when the `group` attribute of the 
`limit-count` plugin is configured to `services_1#1640140620` for multiple 
routes, requests to those routes will share the same counter, even if the 
requests come from different IP addresses.
+Send a request as the Consumer `jane`:
 
-:::note
+```shell
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"; -H 'apikey: jane-key'
+```
 
-The configuration of `limit-count` in the same `group` must be consistent. If 
you want to change the configuration, you need to update the value of the 
corresponding `group` at the same time.
+You should see an `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` response with the corresponding response 
body.
 
-:::
+This request has consumed all the quota set for the time window. If you send 
the same request as the Consumer `jane` within the same 30-second time 
interval, you should receive an `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` response, 
indicating the request surpasses the quota threshold.
+
+Send the same request as the Consumer `john` within the same 30-second time 
interval:
+
+```shell
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"; -H 'apikey: john-key'
+```
 
-For cluster-level traffic limiting, you can use a Redis server. The counter 
will be shared between different APISIX nodes to achieve traffic limiting.
+You should see an `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` response with the corresponding response 
body, indicating the request is not rate limited.
 
-The example below shows how you can use the `redis` policy:
+Send the same request as the Consumer `john` again within the same 30-second 
time interval, you should receive an `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` response.
+
+This verifies the plugin rate limits by the combination of variables, 
`remote_addr` and `consumer_name`.
+
+### Share Quota among Routes
+
+The following example demonstrates the sharing of rate limiting quota among 
multiple routes by configuring the `group` of the `limit-count` plugin.
+
+Note that the configurations of the `limit-count` plugin of the same `group` 
should be identical. To avoid update anomalies and repetitive configurations, 
you can create a Service with `limit-count` plugin and Upstream for routes to 
connect to.
+
+Create a service:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-service",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "policy": "redis",
-            "redis_host": "127.0.0.1",
-            "redis_port": 6379,
-            "redis_password": "password",
-            "redis_database": 1,
-            "redis_timeout": 1001
-        }
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429,
+        "group": "srv1"
+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-Similarly you can also configure the `redis-cluster` policy:
+Create two Routes and configure their `service_id` to be 
`limit-count-service`, so that they share the same configurations for the 
Plugin and Upstream:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route-1",
+    "service_id": "limit-count-service",
+    "uri": "/get1",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "policy": "redis-cluster",
-            "redis_cluster_nodes": [
-              "127.0.0.1:5000",
-              "127.0.0.1:5001"
-            ],
-            "redis_password": "password",
-            "redis_cluster_name": "redis-cluster-1"
-        }
-    },
-    "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "proxy-rewrite": {
+        "uri": "/get"
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-In addition, you can use APISIX secret to store and reference plugin 
attributes. APISIX currently supports storing secrets in two ways - 
[Environment Variables and HashiCorp Vault](../terminology/secret.md). For 
example, in
-case you have environment variables `REDIS_HOST` and `REDIS_PASSWORD` set, you 
can use them in the plugin configuration as shown below:
-
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route-2",
+    "service_id": "limit-count-service",
+    "uri": "/get2",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "policy": "redis",
-            "redis_host": "$ENV://REDIS_HOST",
-            "redis_port": 6379,
-            "redis_password": "$ENV://REDIS_PASSWORD",
-            "redis_database": 1,
-            "redis_timeout": 1001
-        }
-    },
-    "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "proxy-rewrite": {
+        "uri": "/get"
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-## Example usage
+:::note
 
-The above configuration limits to 2 requests in 60 seconds. The first two 
requests will work and the response headers will contain the headers 
`X-RateLimit-Limit` and `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset`, 
represents the total number of requests that are limited, the number of 
requests that can still be sent, and the number of seconds left for the counter 
to reset:
+The [`proxy-rewrite`](./proxy-rewrite.md) plugin is used to rewrite the URI to 
`/get` so that requests are forwarded to the correct endpoint.
+
+:::
+
+Send a request to Route `/get1`:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get1";
 ```
 
+You should see an `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` response with the corresponding response 
body.
+
+Send the same request to Route `/get2` within the same 30-second time interval:
+
 ```shell
-HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-Content-Type: text/html
-Content-Length: 13175
-Connection: keep-alive
-X-RateLimit-Limit: 2
-X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
-X-RateLimit-Reset: 58
-Server: APISIX web server
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get2";
 ```
 
-When you visit for a third time in the 60 seconds, you will receive a response 
with 503 code. Currently, in the case of rejection, the limit count headers is 
also returned:
+You should receive an `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` response, which 
verifies the two routes share the same rate limiting quota.
+
+### Share Quota Among APISIX Nodes with a Redis Server
+
+The following example demonstrates the rate limiting of requests across 
multiple APISIX nodes with a Redis server, such that different APISIX nodes 
share the same rate limiting quota.

-You can also set a custom response by configuring the `rejected_msg` attribute:
+Send a request to an APISIX instance:

 ```
 
-### Customize Rate Limiting Headers
+You should see an `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` response with the corresponding response 
body.
 
-The following example demonstrates how you can use plugin metadata to 
customize the rate limiting response header names, which are by default 
`X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset`.
+Send the same request to a different APISIX instance within the same 30-second 
time interval, you should receive an `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` response, 
verifying routes configured in different APISIX nodes share the same quota.
 
-Configure the plugin metadata for this plugin and update the headers:
+### Share Quota Among APISIX Nodes with a Redis Cluster
 
-```shell
-curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/plugin_metadata/limit-count"; -X PUT 
-d '
-{
-  "log_format": {
-    "limit_header": "X-Custom-RateLimit-Limit",
-    "remaining_header": "X-Custom-RateLimit-Remaining",
-    "reset_header": "X-Custom-RateLimit-Reset"
-  }
-}'
-```
+You can also use a Redis cluster to apply the same quota across multiple 
APISIX nodes, such that different APISIX nodes share the same rate limiting 
quota.
+
+Ensure that your Redis instances are running in [cluster 
mode](https://redis.io/docs/management/scaling/#create-and-use-a-redis-cluster).
 A minimum of two nodes are required for the `limit-count` plugin 
configurations.

 ## 描述
 
-`limit-count` 插件使用固定时间窗口算法,主要用于限制**单个客户端**在指定的时间范围内对服务的总请求数,并且会在 HTTP 
响应头中返回剩余可以请求的个数。该插件原理与 [GitHub API 
的速率限制](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/rate-limit)类似。
+`limit-count` 插件使用固定窗口算法,通过给定时间间隔内的请求数量来限制请求速率。超过配置配额的请求将被拒绝。
+
+您可能会在响应中看到以下速率限制标头:
+
+* `X-RateLimit-Limit`:总配额
+* `X-RateLimit-Remaining`:剩余配额
+* `X-RateLimit-Reset`:计数器重置的剩余秒数

+| key | string | 否 | remote_addr | | 用于计数请求的 key。如果 `key_type` 为 `var`,则 `key` 
将被解释为变量。变量不需要以美元符号(`$`)为前缀。如果 `key_type` 为 `var_combination`,则 `key` 
会被解释为变量的组合。所有变量都应该以美元符号 (`$`) 为前缀。例如,要配置 `key` 使用两个请求头 `custom-a` 和 `custom-b` 
的组合,则 `key` 应该配置为 `$http_custom_a $http_custom_b`。如果 `key_type` 为 `constant`,则 
`key` 会被解释为常量值。|

+
+创建一个带有 `limit-count` 插件的路由,允许在 30 秒窗口内为每个远程地址设置 1 个配额:
+
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '

-            "key_type": "var",
-            "key": "remote_addr"
-        }
+      "limit-count": {

+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
+```
+
+发送验证请求:
+
+```shell
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get";
+```
+
+您应该会看到 `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` 响应。
+
+该请求已消耗了时间窗口允许的所有配额。如果您在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内再次发送该请求,您应该会收到 `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many 
Requests` 响应,表示该请求超出了配额阈值。
+
+### 通过远程地址和消费者名称应用速率限制
+
+以下示例演示了通过变量 `remote_addr` 和 `consumer_name` 的组合对请求进行速率限制。它允许每个远程地址和每个消费者在 30 
秒窗口内有 1 个配额。
+
+创建消费者 `john`:
+
+```shell
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "john"
+  }'
 ```
 
-你也可以设置 `key_type` 为 `"var_combination"`:
+为消费者创建 `key-auth` 凭证:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/john/credentials"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \

-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key_type": "var_combination",
-            "key": "$consumer_name $remote_addr"
-        }
-    },
-    "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:9001": 1
-        }
+      "key-auth": {
+        "key": "john-key"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+创建第二个消费者 `jane`:
+
+```shell
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "jane"
+  }'
+```
+
+为消费者创建 `key-auth` 凭证:
+
+```shell
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/jane/credentials"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "cred-jane-key-auth",
+    "plugins": {
+      "key-auth": {
+        "key": "jane-key"
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-支持在多个路由间共享同一个限流计数器。首先通过以下命令创建一个服务:
+创建一个带有 `key-auth` 和 `limit-count` 插件的路由,并在 `limit-count` 插件中指定使用变量组合作为速率限制键:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route",
+    "uri": "/get",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 1,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "group": "services_1#1640140620"
-        }
+      "key-auth": {},
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429,
+        "key_type": "var_combination",
+        "key": "$remote_addr $consumer_name"
+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-然后为路由配置 `service_id` 为 `1` ,不同路由将共享同一个计数器:
+以消费者 `jane` 的身份发送请求:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "service_id": "1",
-    "uri": "/hello"
-}'
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"; -H 'apikey: jane-key'
 ```
 
+您应该会看到一个 `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` 响应以及相应的响应主体。
+
+此请求已消耗了为时间窗口设置的所有配额。如果您在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内向消费者 `jane` 发送相同的请求,您应该会收到一个 `HTTP/1.1 
429 Too Many Requests` 响应,表示请求超出了配额阈值。
+
+在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内向消费者 `john` 发送相同的请求:
+
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/2 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "service_id": "1",
-    "uri": "/hello2"
-}'
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"; -H 'apikey: john-key'
 ```
 
-通过将 `key_type` 设置为 `"constant"`,你也可以在所有请求间共享同一个限流计数器:
+您应该看到一个 `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` 响应和相应的响应主体,表明请求不受速率限制。
+
+在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内再次以消费者 `john` 的身份发送相同的请求,您应该收到一个 `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many 
Requests` 响应。
+
+这通过变量 `remote_addr` 和 `consumer_name` 的组合验证了插件速率限制。
+
+### 在路由之间共享配额
+
+以下示例通过配置 `limit-count` 插件的 `group` 演示了在多个路由之间共享速率限制配额。
+
+请注意,同一 `group` 的 `limit-count` 插件的配置应该相同。为了避免更新异常和重复配置,您可以创建一个带有 `limit-count` 
插件和上游的服务,以供路由连接。
+
+创建服务:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/services"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-service",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 1,
-            "time_window": 60,
-            "rejected_code": 503,
-            "key": "remote_addr",
-            "key_type": "constant",
-            "group": "services_1#1640140621"
-        }
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429,
+        "group": "srv1"
+      }
     },
     "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+创建两个路由,并将其 `service_id` 配置为 `limit-count-service`,以便它们对插件和上游共享相同的配置:
+
+```shell
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route-1",
+    "service_id": "limit-count-service",
+    "uri": "/get1",
+    "plugins": {
+      "proxy-rewrite": {
+        "uri": "/get"
+      }
     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-以上配置表示:当多个路由中 `limit-count` 插件的 `group` 属性均配置为 `services_1#1640140620` 
时,访问这些路由的请求将会共享同一个计数器,即使这些请求来自于不同的 IP 地址。
+```shell
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "limit-count-route-2",
+    "service_id": "limit-count-service",
+    "uri": "/get2",
+    "plugins": {
+      "proxy-rewrite": {
+        "uri": "/get"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
 
-:::note 注意
+:::note
 
-同一个 `group` 里面的 `limit-count` 的配置必须保持一致。如果修改配置,需要同时更新对应的 `group` 的值。
+[`proxy-rewrite`](./proxy-rewrite.md) 插件用于将 URI 重写为 `/get`,以便将请求转发到正确的端点。
 
 :::
 
-如果你需要一个集群级别的流量控制,我们可以借助 Redis 服务器来完成。不同的 APISIX 节点之间将共享流量限速结果,实现集群流量限速。
+向路由 `/get1` 发送请求:
+
+```shell
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get1";
+```
+
+您应该会看到一个 `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` 响应以及相应的响应主体。
+
+在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内向路由 `/get2` 发送相同的请求:
+
+```shell
+curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get2";
+```
+
+您应该收到 `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` 响应,这验证两个路由共享相同的速率限制配额。

+```
+
+向 APISIX 实例发送请求:
+
+```shell

+
+在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内向不同的 APISIX 实例发送相同的请求,您应该会收到一个 `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` 
响应,验证在不同 APISIX 节点中配置的路由是否共享相同的配额。
+
+### 使用 Redis 集群在 APISIX 节点之间共享配额
+
+您还可以使用 Redis 集群在多个 APISIX 节点之间应用相同的配额,以便不同的 APISIX 节点共享相同的速率限制配额。
+
+确保您的 Redis 实例在 
[集群模式](https://redis.io/docs/management/scaling/#create-and-use-a-redis-cluster)
 下运行。`limit-count` 插件配置至少需要两个节点。
+
+在每个 APISIX 实例上,使用以下配置创建路由。相应地调整管理 API 的地址、Redis 集群节点、密码、集群名称和 SSL 验证。

+
+向 APISIX 实例发送请求:
+
+```shell

 ```
 
-此外,插件中的属性值可以引用 APISIX 中的密钥。APISIX 当前支持两种存储密钥的方式 - [环境变量和 HashiCorp 
Vault](../terminology/secret.md)。
-如果您设置了环境变量 `REDIS_HOST` 和 `REDIS_PASSWORD` ,如下所示,您可以在插件配置中使用它们:
+您应该会看到一个 `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` 响应以及相应的响应主体。
+
+在相同的 30 秒时间间隔内向不同的 APISIX 实例发送相同的请求,您应该会收到一个 `HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests` 
响应,验证在不同 APISIX 节点中配置的路由是否共享相同的配额。
+
+### 使用匿名消费者进行速率限制
+
+以下示例演示了如何为常规和匿名消费者配置不同的速率限制策略,其中匿名消费者不需要进行身份验证并且配额较少。虽然此示例使用 
[`key-auth`](./key-auth.md) 进行身份验证,但匿名消费者也可以使用 
[`basic-auth`](./basic-auth.md)、[`jwt-auth`](./jwt-auth.md) 和 
[`hmac-auth`](./hmac-auth.md) 进行配置。
+
+创建一个消费者 `john`,并配置 `limit-count` 插件,以允许 30 秒内配额为 3:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "uri": "/index.html",
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "john",
     "plugins": {
-        "limit-count": {
-            "count": 2,

     }
-}'
+  }'
 ```
 
-## 测试插件
-
-在上文提到的配置中,其限制了 60 秒内请求只能访问 2 次,可通过如下 `curl` 命令测试请求访问:
+为消费者 `john` 创建 `key-auth` 凭证:
 
 ```shell
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html

+    "plugins": {

 ```
 
-在执行测试命令的前两次都会正常访问。其中响应头中包含了 `X-RateLimit-Limit` 和 `X-RateLimit-Remaining` 和 
`X-RateLimit-Reset` 字段,分别代表限制的总请求数和剩余还可以发送的请求数以及计数器剩余重置的秒数:
+创建匿名用户 `anonymous`,并配置 `limit-count` 插件,以允许 30 秒内配额为 1:
 
 ```shell
-HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-Content-Type: text/html
-Content-Length: 13175
-Connection: keep-alive
-X-RateLimit-Limit: 2
-X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
-X-RateLimit-Reset: 58
-Server: APISIX web server
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "anonymous",
+    "plugins": {
+      "limit-count": {
+        "count": 1,
+        "time_window": 30,
+        "rejected_code": 429
+      }
+    }
+  }'
 ```
 
-当第三次进行测试访问时,会收到包含 `503` HTTP 状态码的响应头,目前在拒绝的情况下,也会返回相关的头,表示插件生效:
+创建路由并配置 `key-auth` 插件以接受匿名消费者 `anonymous` 绕过身份验证:
 
 ```shell
-HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
-Content-Type: text/html
-Content-Length: 194
-Connection: keep-alive
-X-RateLimit-Limit: 2
-X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
-X-RateLimit-Reset: 58
-Server: APISIX web server
+curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT \
+  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
+  -d '{
+    "id": "key-auth-route",
+    "uri": "/anything",
+    "plugins": {
+      "key-auth": {
+        "anonymous_consumer": "anonymous"
+      }
+    },
+    "upstream": {
+      "type": "roundrobin",
+      "nodes": {
+        "httpbin.org:80": 1
+      }
+    }
+  }'
 ```
 
-如果你设置了属性 `rejected_msg` 的值为 `"Requests are too frequent, please try again 
later."`,当第三次访问时,就会收到如下带有 `error_msg` 返回信息的响应体:
+使用 `john` 的密钥发送五个连续的请求:
 
 ```shell
-HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
-Content-Type: text/html
-Content-Length: 194
-Connection: keep-alive
-X-RateLimit-Limit: 2
-X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
-X-RateLimit-Reset: 58
-Server: APISIX web server
-
-{"error_msg":"Requests are too frequent, please try again later."}
+resp=$(seq 5 | xargs -I{} curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/anything"; -H 'apikey: 
john-key' -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n") && \
+  count_200=$(echo "$resp" | grep "200" | wc -l) && \
+  count_429=$(echo "$resp" | grep "429" | wc -l) && \
+  echo "200": $count_200, "429": $count_429
 ```
 
-## 删除插件
+您应该看到以下响应,显示在 5 个请求中,3 个请求成功(状态代码 200),而其他请求被拒绝(状态代码 429)。
+
+```text
+200:    3, 429:    2
+```
 
-当你需要删除该插件时,可以通过以下命令删除相应的 JSON 配置,APISIX 将会自动重新加载相关配置,无需重启服务:
+发送五个匿名请求:
 
 ```shell
-curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 \
--H "X-API-KEY: $admin_key" -X PUT -d '
-{
-    "methods": ["GET"],
-    "uri": "/index.html",
-    "upstream": {
-        "type": "roundrobin",
-        "nodes": {
-            "127.0.0.1:1980": 1
-        }
-    }
-}'
+resp=$(seq 5 | xargs -I{} curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/anything"; -o /dev/null 
-s -w "%{http_code}\n") && \
+  count_200=$(echo "$resp" | grep "200" | wc -l) && \
+  count_429=$(echo "$resp" | grep "429" | wc -l) && \
+  echo "200": $count_200, "429": $count_429
+```
+
+您应该看到以下响应,表明只有一个请求成功:
+
+```text
+200:    1, 429:    4
 ```
