assuming they're smeared equally across the whole month, that is. Eg if the majority of those requests kick off a job at midnight on the first of the month, it's a bit more to deal with.

How are you arriving at that number?

60 seconds per minute 60 minutes per hour 24 hours per day 30 days per month ~2.59 million seconds per month

One billion requests into 2.59 million seconds is 386 requests per second.

Or 386K requests per seconds, depending on where these billions are coming from :-)

ho it's billion, my bad ahah
