Hello,
I was reading a post on here about api request limits and read a comment about services making lots of requests may be soft banned. How can I avoid this to make sure my app doesn't stop working in production?
this is the post I read : https://help.railway.com/questions/is-there-a-request-limit-d273024d

In a real word scenario you are very unlikely to hit any limits, the only time you would hit a limit would be if you made a large volume of requests concurrently to your app from a singular IP, then that and only that IP would be put in a soft jail.
I've yet to see a report of an IP getting soft jailed for legitimate traffic, it has always been confused with poorly performing code dropping requests.
tl;dr: With legitimate traffic, you will hit limitations with your code before you hit limitations with our incoming request limits.
