Possible Problem Throttle

[williank]

The text in the documentation suggests that we can use the attribute throttle_classes=[UserRateThrottle] In the decorator @action, however, this does not seem to be true. Because the action decorator does not recognize the throttle_classes.

I tested countless ways until I came to this conclusion.

It's also possible to set throttle classes for routes that are created using the @action decorator. Throttle classes set in this way will override any viewset level class settings.

@action(detail=True, methods=["post"], throttle_classes=[UserRateThrottle])
def example_adhoc_method(request, pk=None):
   content = {
       'status': 'request was permitted'
   }
   return Response(content)
