I got a question about ratelimiter, i see no examples of nested ratelimits.

Does the inner rateLimit override the parent routes rate limit or do both actually apply?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

The rate limit providers are processed in order from outer to inner. So, for each request, the plugin consumes a token from each provider. The first exhausted provider responds with a 429 status and stops processing.

Awesome, thank you!
So then it can only support narrower rate limits the further down you nest, so we need to reconsider our approach
