📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Throttle validation now accepts positive burst sizes below maxRequests. ThrottleBuilder preserves explicitly configured burst sizes regardless of call order and defaults unset burst sizes to maxRequests. ExecuteAsync uses the two-argument throttle-store lookup. Tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Throttle fixes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Order-independent throttle configuration
src/Carom.Extensions/Throttle.cs, tests/Carom.Extensions.Tests/ThrottleBuilderOrderTests.cs
The builder preserves explicit burst sizes across WithRate calls and defaults unset burst sizes to maxRequests. Validation accepts positive burst sizes. Tests cover call ordering, defaults, the documented example, and zero-value rejection.
Throttle execution store lookup
src/Carom.Extensions/Throttle.cs
ExecuteAsync retrieves throttle state through the two-argument ThrottleStore.GetOrCreate overload.

Reviewed and ready on the code side. The CLA cannot attach to these commits yet, for the reason and fix set out in #13 — you are already signed, the commits just are not resolvable to your account. Once that is sorted this can go in.

Decision on the burst question: your change is right and I am taking it. #15 is merged, so this is the remaining one alongside #13.

I want to be explicit that this overrules what I wrote in issue #7, because you should not have to guess whether you are contradicting me on purpose.

Why you are right

I read ThrottleState rather than reasoning from the names. _tokens starts at burstSize * 1000 and AddTokensWithSpin caps there, while _refillIntervalTicks = timeWindow.Ticks / maxRequests adds one token per interval. So burstSize is bucket capacity and maxRequests / timeWindow is refill rate. Two independent axes.

Measured on your branch at rate=100/s:

config immediate spike sustained over 1s
burst=20 21 exactly 100
burst=20, after 500ms idle 25 (uncapped would be ~50)
burst=100 (the old default) 101

Capacity below rate is the textbook token bucket for smoothing a spiky client, and it preserves throughput completely. The old check rejected precisely that configuration, and the default it forced permits a whole window instantly, which is no smoothing at all. So the README was describing the useful thing and the validation was wrong.

Issue #7 prescribed keeping the check. That was my error, written from the parameter names rather than from the state machine.

The part that made this easy

You did not remove the validation, you replaced it:

-  if (burstSize < maxRequests)
+  if (burstSize < 1)

That is the right floor. A bucket that can never hold a token is genuinely broken and still fails fast, while the configurations that work are now reachable. If you had deleted the guard outright I would have asked for exactly this back.

For anyone reading later: no existing behaviour changes. Every configuration that passed the old check behaves identically. Only previously rejected ones now build.

The _burstSet ordering fix is also correct, and _burstSize = 100 is now a dead initializer worth removing while you are in there.

What I need before merging

Two tests, because right now the suite does not know about either half of this change. I checked by putting the old code back:

  • restore _burstSize = maxRequests; _burstSet = false; in WithRate, and 288/288 still pass
  • restore the burstSize < maxRequests throw, and 288/288 still pass

No test calls WithBurst before WithRate, and none asserts the validation. So please add:

  1. WithBurst(20).WithRate(100, 1s) keeps burst at 20, which is the ordering bug
  2. burstSize = 0 throws, which pins the new floor

Both should fail if you revert your own change. That is the rule the project holds everyone to and it is the only thing standing between this and a merge.

One more: the PR title says the README example throws, but the diff never touches README.md. Issue #7 also asked for the README to explain what burst actually means. A short paragraph saying capacity versus refill rate, with the numbers above, would stop the next person making my mistake.

Separately, the CLA

Still the commit author email from my note on #13. Worth knowing that it does not cost you credit in the end: #15 squash merged as zacharywomack8@gmail.com and GitHub attributed it to your account correctly. So the block is the check, not your standing as a contributor.

@zacharywomack8-source you are on https://baryo.dev/community and on the org profile at https://github.com/BaryoDev.

Written up as the two things that were genuinely worth catching: three Carom packages were being published to NuGet while missing from the solution file, so CI had never once built them, and a test that slept for about fifteen minutes on every run.

The first one is the sort of thing that only gets found by someone who actually reads the build rather than trusting the green tick.

#15 is merged. #14 has my decision on it: your change is right and I am taking it, including the burstSize < 1 floor, which was the better call than the one I wrote in issue #7. It needs the two tests before it lands.

#13 and #14 are still blocked by the commit author email, which is the thing from my note on #13. Worth knowing it costs you nothing in the end: #15 squash merged as your account email and GitHub attributed it correctly, so your name is on it either way.

Thank you.

Sorry this sat for a week. The CLA is no longer required here, so nothing is blocking on that any more.

The fix is right, and the _burstSet flag is the correct shape rather than the obvious one. The bug was that WithRate overwrote _burstSize unconditionally, so WithBurst(...).WithRate(...) silently discarded the burst while WithRate(...).WithBurst(...) worked. Tracking whether burst was set explicitly and defaulting only in Build() makes the two order-independent, which is what a fluent builder has to be. Reordering calls should never change the result.

One change needs a sentence of justification

Relaxing burstSize < maxRequests to burstSize < 1 is a deliberate loosening of validation, and it is doing separate work from the builder fix. With the new Build() defaulting burst to maxRequests, the old constraint only bites when someone explicitly asks for a smaller burst.

Is a bucket smaller than the per-window rate meaningful? Arguably yes, it caps concurrent bursts below the sustained rate, but that is a design decision rather than a bug fix, and the PR description does not mention it. Worth a line in the description saying why it is allowed now, so the next person reading the validation does not "restore" it.

What it needs before merge

A test. tests/Carom.Extensions.Tests already exists and neither of these PRs touches it.

Two worth having, and both are a few lines:

  • WithBurst(50).WithRate(100, per) and WithRate(100, per).WithBurst(50) produce the same Throttle. That is the actual bug and the test would have failed before this change.
  • The README example builds without throwing. Since the reported symptom was that the documented example throws, a test that runs the documented example is the guard that stops it regressing.

The second one matters more than it looks: a README that throws is a bug nobody notices until a new user hits it, which is the worst kind.

Five tests for the fix in this PR. Verified they can fail: restoring the WithRate assignment
reddens two of them, restoring the burst >= maxRequests validation reddens three.

The README example is its own test rather than folded into the ordering ones, so changing
the documented example forces a decision here instead of quietly diverging from it.

Pushed the tests to your branch rather than asking you to, since this had already waited a week and the fix itself was right. Your commits are untouched.

ThrottleBuilderOrderTests, five cases: burst survives a later WithRate, both orderings agree, the README example builds, burst still defaults to the rate when unset, and a burst below 1 is still rejected.

I checked they can fail rather than assuming. Restoring the _burstSize = maxRequests line in WithRate reddens two of them; restoring the burstSize < maxRequests validation reddens three. Baseline is green.

On the validation change, which I asked you to justify

You do not need to. I found the justification in README.md:

var apiThrottle = Throttle.ForService("external-api")
    .WithRate(100, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1))
    .WithBurst(20)
    .Build();

Burst 20 against a rate of 100. The documented, intended usage has always required burst below maxRequests, so the old validation contradicted the documentation rather than enforcing a real invariant. That is a better reason than any I would have written, and it is now pinned by The_documented_example_builds.

Merging. Thanks for the fix, and sorry it sat.
