API Development
Why does the severity of the fixed-window boundary bug scale with the window size (e.g. worse for hourly windows than per-second windows)?
A
It doesn't scale with window size at all, severity is constant
B
A larger window means a larger POTENTIAL burst (up to the full window's quota) can straddle the single boundary point, so the maximum possible over-limit burst grows with the window size
C
Larger windows are actually immune to this bug entirely
D
Window size only affects memory usage, not burst behavior
