HTTPS requests generated by IP rate limiting are typically charged based on the cloud provider's pricing model for API requests or data transfer, depending on the specific service and configuration.
For example, if a cloud provider charges per API request, then each HTTPS request triggered by IP rate limiting would be counted as an API request and incur a corresponding fee. Similarly, if the provider charges based on data transfer, the data exchanged during these HTTPS requests would be metered.
In the context of cloud services, IP rate limiting is often implemented to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage of resources. This can be particularly relevant for services like API gateways or web applications hosted on cloud platforms.
For those using Tencent Cloud, the charging for HTTPS requests would align with their comprehensive pricing structure, which includes fees for API calls and data transfer. Tencent Cloud offers various services that support HTTPS and IP rate limiting, such as their API Gateway service, which can be configured to enforce rate limits and handle HTTPS traffic efficiently.
