  GDAX implements rate limiting for API requests to prevent abuse and ensure fair access. They use a token bucket algorithm to control the rate at which requests can be made. Each user is assigned a token bucket with a certain capacity and refill rate. When a request is made, a token is consumed from the bucket. If the bucket is empty, the request is rejected. The bucket is refilled over time, allowing users to make requests at a controlled rate. This helps prevent API abuse and ensures fair access for all users.
