rate limit maximum delay time

[JonBendtsen]

Hi

In Rate limiting it says:

Requests that exceed the configured limit will be delayed or denied if they exceed the maximum delay time.

but I can not figure out where the maximum delay time is specified or what it is?

sftpgo.json only contains the word delay once, and that is under data_provider so it is not that. max is written several times, but none seems to match what I'm looking for. idle_timeout is for idle connections, so I would expect that to be already fully connected, and not for connections which are being delayed.

Hello,

the max delay is calculated based on the configured average and period

1 req/s => max delay = 500 ms
100 req/s => max delay = 5 ms

and so on
