+ * Instead of completely disabling the rate limit or excluding an IP address from the
+ * rate limit, the following config allows to overwrite the rate limit duration and period.
+ *
+ * The first level key is the name of the route. You can find the route name from a URL
+ * using the ``occ router:list`` command of your server.
+ *
+ * You can also specify different limits for logged-in users with the ``user`` key
+ * and not-logged-in users with the ``anon`` key. However, if there is no specific ``user`` limit,
+ * the ``anon`` limit is also applied for logged-in users.
