Hello,
I have a situation: opening an endpoint under location: /api/info uses a
lot
of resources. If ~20 people open it, the service goes down. For a
several
months it is impossible to improve ‘info’ to not kill the servce, so I
have
to “repair” it in other way.
It would be perfect if in nginx could limit connections to ~10
requests/seconf, from all IP to this specific endpoint. Is it possible?

ok I found that yesterday, and as a variable in limit_req_zone I should
use
some constant eg: set $con 10;
and it looks like:
set $con 10;
limit_req_zone $con zone=one:15m rate=10r/s;
and it should work as I want? Aking, because I’m testnig it now, and it
dont
work properly.

You don’t need “set” to create a constant. There are already a few
constants
always available like $nginx_version.

Could you elaborate what’s the problem, and provide your configuration?
