Rate limiting and budget controls in Agentic AI - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set a maximum number of API calls per minute.

Agentic AI

max_calls_per_minute = [1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting the limit to None or negative values which disables or breaks the limit.

The variable max_calls_per_minute should be set to a positive integer to limit API calls.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to check if the current usage exceeds the budget.

Agentic AI

if current_usage [1] budget_limit:
    print('Budget exceeded')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

C==

D>

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using <= or < which would not catch exceeding usage.

We want to detect when usage is greater than the budget limit to trigger an alert.

Fix the error in the code that resets the usage counter after a time window.

Agentic AI

if time.time() - last_reset_time [1] reset_interval:
    usage_count = 0
    last_reset_time = time.time()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B<=

C>=

D<

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using < or <= which resets too early or not at the right time.

The usage counter should reset when the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the reset interval.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that tracks usage per user only if usage is below the limit.

Agentic AI

usage_per_user = {user: usage[1] for user, usage in user_usage.items() if usage [2] limit}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B<

C<=

D-

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using subtraction instead of addition or wrong comparison operators.

The comprehension adds usage values and filters users with usage less than the limit.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a rate limiter function that returns True if under limit and updates usage.

Agentic AI

def rate_limiter(user):
    if usage.get(user, 0) [1] limit:
        usage[user] = usage.get(user, 0) [2] 1
        return [3]
    return False

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A<

B+

CTrue

D==

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using == instead of < for comparison, or returning False incorrectly.

The function checks if usage is less than limit, increments usage by 1, and returns True to allow the action.
