    One option would be to bake rate-limiting middleware into your service. For example, in express-rate-limit you can define a keyGenerator function that takes an HTTP request and extracts the key that should be rate limited. I assume there are similar middleware packages for other frameworks. This approach would get the job done and it would be transparent to your customers.

Like all other features, you can configure the rate limit using env variables.
