Rest API - Rate Limiting and Throttling

You receive these headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 5
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1680007200

You want to display the time left until reset in minutes. How do you calculate it?

ASubtract Remaining from Limit and multiply by 60

BAdd X-RateLimit-Reset to current time and multiply by 60

CUse X-RateLimit-Limit divided by Remaining

DSubtract current Unix timestamp from X-RateLimit-Reset and divide by 60

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand X-RateLimit-Reset as Unix timestamp
This header gives the reset time in seconds since epoch.
Step 2: Calculate time left
Subtract current Unix timestamp from reset timestamp to get seconds left, then divide by 60 for minutes.
Final Answer:
Subtract current Unix timestamp from X-RateLimit-Reset and divide by 60 -> Option D
Quick Check:
Reset - now, then convert seconds to minutes [OK]

Quick Trick: Time left = (Reset - now) / 60 minutes [OK]
