   It supports two storage methods:
 
-  * **`[atomics](https://erlang.org/doc/man/atomics.html)`** recommended and default if your OTP is > 21.2.
-  * **`[ets](https://erlang.org/doc/man/ets.html)`** either with a single table per Limiter (faster) or a shared table (better for a large number of limiters).
+  * **[atomics](https://erlang.org/doc/man/atomics.html)** recommended and default if your OTP is > 21.2.

   You would however always want to use atomics, ets is mostly there for backwards compatibility.
