Recently, there have been many errors when claiming airdrops, and even today’s $UPTOP didn’t refresh, and the claim ended. Some brothers say that only designated accounts can refresh and not report errors, or that those risky accounts will report errors. In fact, this is not the case; the claim errors are entirely due to the server's rate limiting mechanism.
In the high concurrency scenario of first-come-first-served in Alpha, to avoid sudden traffic overload leading to server crashes, the system usually adopts a multi-level rate limiting and diversion mechanism, combined with real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment strategies.
Some specific mechanisms include: request subdomain, token bucket algorithm, circuit breaker technology, global distributed rate limiting, etc. To make it understandable for ordinary people, the rate limiting mechanism is like an opening that allows a certain portion of requests through based on a specific algorithm. This is why many people may encounter errors two or three times but can still successfully participate.
The main server address of Binance has always been hidden to prevent overload and hacker attacks, and many sub-station servers have been established, each serving users from different regions. Due to the competitive nature of our country, where many people compete for the same opportunity, the rate limiting on our regional servers is severe, resulting in a low pass rate through the opening. If magic is used, it may yield miraculous results.
