Protect your prod environment: New rate limit controls

Mux has introduced new features to enhance API rate limit management, providing greater control and reliability for users. Traditionally, Mux applied a single rate limit bucket for all environments, which sometimes led to issues like production disruptions due to overuse in development. To address this, Mux now offers per-environment rate limits, isolating dev, staging, and production environments to prevent one from affecting the others. Additionally, Mux has implemented high and low priority tokens within each environment, allowing users to prioritize crucial API calls, such as video uploads, over less critical tasks like background jobs. The introduction of standard rate limit headers enables users to monitor their API usage in real-time, preventing unexpected request refusals. These updates are designed to optimize API usage and protect end-user experiences, and they are automatically applied to existing environments without requiring user intervention.
