Cloudflare Workers rate limiting now supports delta-based usage in limit() calls

ritakozlov · x · 2026-11-13

Cloudflare's Workers Rate Limiting binding now accepts an optional delta in limit(), letting a single call spend multiple units of the same allowance.

This lets one rate limiter distinguish cheap lookups from database-heavy searches and count them by actual resource cost. Limits apply per Cloudflare location with 10s or 60s periods, and can be scoped per API route or customer tier (free vs paid).
