Working across multiple resque servers?

[blakewest]

Hi, thanks for making this library! I'm using it at work, and we are trying to throttle a bunch of nightly calls we make to an API. Their limit is 10 requests / second. Currently we run 3 resque servers, with with several workers. We've created a special queue just for this API, and throw all of our jobs related to the API onto this queue. So our resque config looks like this:
Resque.rate_limit(:special_api_queue, at: 2, per: 1)

And yet, we still are getting rate limit errors. From the ReadMe, I would think this means a limit of 2 per second. Which, even if the limit was per server (which is certainly unexpected behavior), should be 6 / second.
So my question here is just understanding how this queue limit plays across multiple resqueue worker threads and servers.
What I'd love is a way to set the rate limit from that queue across all servers/workers, so that I can rest assured that rate limits won't get hit, even if I scale up or down our number of servers/workers.

Thanks! - Blake

Are you still seeing this issue? Sorry I'm no longer using Resque and didn't realize people are using this repo
