Explanation

API rate limiting is a mechanism used by SaaS applications to prevent abuse by limiting the number of requests that can be made to an API within a specified time frame. If the developer sent too many requests in a short period, the application may have triggered rate limiting, causing temporary blocks on further requests from the server or affecting all users if the limits were exceeded on a shared resource.
