+**Performance Implications**
+
+User rate limiting has been evaluated for performance. Existing authenticated CAPI calls require a database call, and the per-user rate limiting introduces a second call from the application to the db. The cost of the per-user rate limit is equal to or less than 0.35, this means the per-user rate limits are unlikely to affect performance.
