Identifying rush hours is crucial for optimal resource allocation and ensuring optimal service availability during high-traffic periods. To identify rush hours on the API Insights page, just take note of the time periods when API requests reach their peak, as these often correspond to rush hours when there is a higher volume of transactions or user interactions. Consider external factors such as marketing campaigns, sales promotions, or seasonal trends that may influence usage patterns.
