+
+A keyword list of rate limiters where a key is a limiter name and value is the limiter configuration. The basic configuration is a tuple where:
+
+* The first element: `scale` (Integer). The time scale in milliseconds.
+* The second element: `limit` (Integer). How many requests to limit in the time scale provided.
+
+It is also possible to have different limits for unauthenticated and authenticated users: the keyword value must be a list of two tuples where the first one is a config for unauthenticated users and the second one is for authenticated.
+
+See [`Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter`](Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter.html) documentation for examples.

+defmodule Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter do
+  @moduledoc """
+
+  ## Configuration
+
+  A keyword list of rate limiters where a key is a limiter name and value is the limiter configuration. The basic configuration is a tuple where:
+
+  * The first element: `scale` (Integer). The time scale in milliseconds.
+  * The second element: `limit` (Integer). How many requests to limit in the time scale provided.
+
+  It is also possible to have different limits for unauthenticated and authenticated users: the keyword value must be a list of two tuples where the first one is a config for unauthenticated users and the second one is for authenticated.
+
+  ### Example
+
+      config :pleroma, :rate_limit,
+        one: {1000, 10},
+        two: [{10_000, 10}, {10_000, 50}]
+
+  Here we have two limiters: `one` which is not over 10req/1s and `two` which has two limits 10req/10s for unauthenticated users and 50req/10s for authenticated users.
+
+  ## Usage
+
+  Inside a controller:
+
+      plug(Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter, :one when action == :one)
+      plug(Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter, :two when action in [:two, :three])
+
+  or inside a router pipiline:
+
+      pipeline :api do
+        ...
+        plug(Pleroma.Plugs.RateLimiter, :one)
+        ...
