To expand on what Nigel wrote- thing of the counters as like leaky
buckets - it's not a case of waiting till the end of the hour then
tipping the contents out, the contents are leaking out all the time.
The upshot is that if you are starting with an empty bucket, you can
burst up to (in your case) 180 messages before you fill the bucket.
Actually, due to the fact that you won't get 180 messages through in
"an instant" and the way the quota works, you'll get at least 181
messages through. If you keep trying, then you'll be able to dribble
messages through as the bucket leaks away - at an average rate of
180/hour (or 3/minute, or one every 20 seconds.
If you pause for a few minutes you'll be able to burst again until
the bucket is full, and then be back to dribbling through.
Hi Simon.
Many thanks for the insightful response.
Much better response than mine, thanks Simon :)
