The Rate Display Limit setting in Jimo is a crucial feature designed to enhance user experience by managing the frequency of interactions. This setting helps to ensure that users are not overwhelmed.

In Jimo, the Rate Limiting is crucial to manage the frequency at which experiences are displayed. It helps prevent overwhelming your users with too many interactions within a short time frame.

Setting the Rate Limit

  • Rate Limit Configuration: You can set the display frequency by specifying the number of experiences allowed within a certain time frame. For example, you might choose to show only one experience every 4 hours.

  • Flexible Adjustment: This setting is adjustable, providing the flexibility to find the perfect balance for user engagement without being intrusive.

Excluding Experiences

  • Excluded Experiences: Some experiences may be critical and need to bypass the rate limit. You can exclude these specific experiences from the rate-limiting settings.
