A response time limit exceeded observation indicates that the API or server took longer than expected to process and return a response. Prolonged response times can lead to degraded user experiences, timeouts in client applications, and reduced reliability. Factors contributing to this issue might include inefficient code, resource contention, high server load, or network latency.
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Attackers can flood the server with an excessive number of requests, causing it to reach its response time limit. This can overwhelm the server’s resources, leading to a denial of service and making the application unavailable to legitimate users.
