Rails background job rate limiting question: I'm pulling data from a third-party API that has a rate limit of 10 requests per second. This is happening via Sidekiq background jobs. Sidekiq has a concurrency of 300. How can I handle rate limiting across hundreds of background jobs?

highly recommended landscape contractor quotes work that will take a full crew 3+ months to complete and cost as much as a nice home. my immediate thought: i probably could just do it myself. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
