How to put a rate limit on a celery queue?

Question

I read this in the celery documentation for Task.rate_limit:

Note that this is a per worker instance rate limit, and not a global rate limit.

Answer 1

hey I am trying to find a way to do rate limit on queue, and I find out Celery can't do that, however Celery can control the rate per tasks, see this:

http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/workers.html#rate-limits

so for a workaround, maybe you can set up one tasks per queue(which makes sense in a lot of situations), and put the limit on task.
