IT28426: SLM RATE LIMIT POLICY IS NOT WORKING FOR DAILY INTERVALS

Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 2018.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you have a rate limit interval set to be a multiple of days
  (and therefore be divisible by 24 hours), you may see that the
  count of API calls is not correctly reset leading to 429 (Rate
  Limit exceeded) errors.
  Another issue noticed is that X-RateLimit-Remaining header in
  API Header is not showing correct value.
  For instance if there is a plan with 2000 calls per day and in
  the analytic you can see how many calls a client has made to
  that plan (for  example 300).
  Then making an API Call, you will notices in the
  X-RateLimit-Remaining header,  the number is more than 1700.
  

Local fix

• Define Product plans with ratel limit of 22 or 23 hours instead
  of calls per day or 24 hours.
  

Problem summary

• SLM rate limit policy is not working correctly for daily
  intervals.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 2018.4.1.5
