Rest API - Rate Limiting and Throttling

Which of the following is the correct way to check the current window start time in a fixed window algorithm using Python?

import time
window_size = 60  # seconds
current_time = int(time.time())
window_start = ?

Acurrent_time - (current_time % window_size)

Bcurrent_time % window_size

Ccurrent_time + window_size

Dwindow_size - current_time

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate window start using modulo
The window start is the current time minus the remainder when divided by window size, to align to window boundary.
Step 2: Apply formula
Using current_time - (current_time % window_size) gives the start of the current fixed window.
Final Answer:
current_time - (current_time % window_size) -> Option A
Quick Check:
Window start = current_time - remainder [OK]

Quick Trick: Use modulo to find window start time [OK]
