limits more than specified

[mandarup]

for some reason, I get half the rate specified.
e.g 2/minute -> 1, 10/minute -> 5

This is my set up:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address
from slowapi.errors import RateLimitExceeded

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
app = FastAPI()
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)


@app.get("/")
@limiter.limit("5/minute")
async def root(request: Request):
    return {"message": "Hello World"}

Is there anything obvious that I might be missing here?

Hey, I know it is really a long time ago, but are you still having this issue?

I'm still having this issue as well. But it's not always reproducible. I thought it had to do with the --reload flag for setting up fastapi, but that was not it.

Hello @samvr-pxl could you also share how you run your server ? is it a development server ? using uvicorn ?
That could help us find the reason

I'm sorry for not responding earlier. I had not seen your reply.
Not sure if it's relevant anymore.

But I noticed it when setting up a fastai server with these commands:
uvicorn main:app --proxy-headers --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80 --reload
and
uvicorn main:app --proxy-headers --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80
