Most providers allow enough requests to make this work. E.g. Render supports 400 requests/minute for GET requests. It's enough to make this work. :)

- EGreg 3y agoAfter a while they might detect it and mitigate it
- rtukpe 3y agoOh we try to poll well below their rate limits. For example, we send about 4 requests to Render every minute.
- subomi 3y agoI also do not see a good reason providers should mitigate this because we work well within the rate limit. Users already do this for services they care about if you do not natively support webhooks. DigitalOcean provides a URL to poll to know when your resources are fully provisioned.
