probabilistic_token_bucket.rs

//! Probabilistic token bucket rate limiting algorithm.
//!
//! This algorithm dramatically reduces atomic operations by sampling only a fraction
//! of requests. When sampled, token consumption is scaled to maintain statistical accuracy.
//!
//! # Performance vs Accuracy Trade-off
//!
//! - 1% sampling: 50-100x faster, ~1-2% error margin
//! - 5% sampling: 15-20x faster, ~0.5-1% error margin
//! - 10% sampling: 8-10x faster, ~0.2-0.5% error margin
//!
//! # When to Use
//!
//! - Ultra-high throughput scenarios (100M+ ops/sec)
//! - Acceptable error margin (1-2%)
//! - Soft rate limiting (not strict enforcement)
//!
//! # When NOT to Use
//!
//! - Strict compliance requirements
//! - Low traffic (<1000 req/sec)
//! - Zero tolerance for over-limit requests

///
/// With 1% sampling (SAMPLE_RATE = 100):

/// # Accuracy
///
/// - 1% sampling: ~1-2% error margin

/// Error manifests as allowing slightly more requests than the configured limit.

///
/// Ideal for:
