@IEvangelist I did a quick write up on the algorithms with the idea when you publish the .NET rate limiting doc, I'll point to your doc. I really don't want to invest more time explaining them since I'm going to remove the explanation from this doc. I'm sure you'll have a better write up, feel free to make suggestions here.

@BrennanConroy also did a great writeup of the algorithms here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-rate-limiting-for-dotnet/

I think this table is too confusing

[Rick-Anderson]

What about something like my updated table? If you don't like that approach, I'll delete it. I also added a couple bullets explaining the blue and red lines.

Maybe slightly better, still not a fan though. Maybe let some other folks look at it and see if they understand?

I'm slightly biased, but I like how the algorithm was displayed here.

I had a hard time following that, it struck me as a diagram written by someone very familiar with the algorithm. At any rate the explanation and diagrams belong in dotnet/docs#30426 which @IEvangelist owns, so he can own that.

IMAO, rate limiting is a gamechanger so I'm going to merge this so it can be live. I'll tweat it with a challenge to come up with a better diagram.

@BrennanConroy I tried the preceding prototype but it looked worse.
