How can I create a RateLimiter for 10 requests per 10 seconds using Rust Governor?

Question

Is there a way in Rust with Governor, to create a RateLimiter for 10/10s?

You can create the Quota:

    let q10 = Quota::with_period(Duration::from_secs(10))
        .unwrap()
        .allow_burst(NonZeroU32::new(10).unwrap());

However this only replenishes one every 10seconds.

And there doesn't seem to be a way to completely replenish a quota every some seconds correct? The only way seems to be replacing the RateLimiter completely each 10 seconds.

I do not believe governor can do what you want. The ratelimit crate seems to, though.

let ratelimiter = Ratelimiter::builder(10, Duration::from_secs(10))
    .max_tokens(10)
    .build()
    .unwrap();

This snippet will create a limiter that allows 10 requests every 10 seconds, with a max burst of 10. This means that you can make 10 requests in quick succession but must wait 10 seconds before sending any more.
