Using rate limiter with before_request

[andrii-korotkov-verkada]

Hey. I want to specify a configurable rate limit per various endpoints, but don't want to decorate every endpoint with limit decorator and still want to keep using @app.route to register endpoints and not writing a wrapper decorator.
Using a limiter in function decorate with before_request seems ideal, but I haven't found a straightforward way to do so.
Should I do something like this in a function with before_request decorator or is it a dumb idea?

with limiter.limit(...params...):
    pass

Ideally, I'm looking for something like limiter.apply_limit, a standalone function, not decorator.
Can I achieve the goal with specifying callables in default_limits?
Thank you.

default_limits is meant to cover this use case where the limits you configure there are applied to all routes in your application. If you want to get more specific and have Blueprints - you can also apply a limit to the entire blueprint.

default_limits allows to pass a callable for computing the limit. Just to check, is this callable evaluated every time the limit needs to be applied, or is it compute only in the beginning?
