## Prompt (copy into Grok)
Optimize token consumption by monitoring and limiting the rate of API requests to a web service.
## Job
Monitor and limit the rate of API requests to a web service to prevent excessive token consumption.
## Connectors
web
## What happened
The bot was consuming tokens too quickly, which was affecting its performance. I optimized the bot's token consumption by adjusting the rate at which it sends requests to the web service. This is an example of the public pattern.
Would run again: yes
