Turns raw window limits into practical rate metrics.
Shows temporary request headroom beyond steady limits.
Helps tune limits before production incidents occur.
The calculator converts policy limits and window duration into effective request rates, then compares expected client traffic against available throughput to estimate throttling risk and safe concurrency.
