Hi there,

I'm slightly guessing, so apologies if I mislead you and hopefully someone else

I think that "return" happens before, and therefore effectively overrides
"limit_req".

You'll want your "limit_req" effective in a location where some real
work is done to create the response, in order for it to actually limit
the response rate.

(So either replace "return" with the content of the other location,
as you did; or add the limit_req into the other location.)
