I am mostly interested in order placement api limit, is the limit ends/resets on second boundary or any other way.
just asking as if there is a fixed window means limits client and servers clock needs to be in sync to fully use the rate limits
Your clock: |--window--|--window--|
Zerodha clock: |--window--|--window--|


ALSO is there a possibility of
EG. can i send 10 order burst at seconds end i.e 950th ms of a second and then at 1000ms the limit resets so i can place new order at 100th ms on next second ? leading to 20 orders in 150ms approx or so ? :p
