Other clients can continue to use FTL while rate-limited clients are short-circuited at the same time. For this setting, both numbers, the maximum number of queries within a given time, **and** the length of the time interval (seconds) have to be specified. For instance, if you want to set a rate limit of 1 query per hour, the option should look like `RATE_LIMIT=1/3600`.
