Duplicate traffic can consume QPS, create repeated results and make partner reconciliation difficult. The correct response depends on request identity and the commercial agreement.

01

Define a duplicate

A duplicate rule needs a time window and a stable request signature. Overly broad matching can suppress legitimate repeat intent; overly narrow matching protects nothing.

  • Source context
  • Query or intent
  • IP and user agent
  • Time window
02

Layer the controls

Global duplicate policy can be combined with IP request ceilings, member QPS and maximum-request boundaries.

03

Keep the outcome explainable

Operators need to distinguish filtered duplicates from upstream errors, empty demand and capacity rejection.
