| Access Blacklisting | hours | web, api | malicious request | /etc/passwd, <script> |
| Submit Throttling | days/weeks | web | many weak vulnerability submissions | bad data quality, duplicates, rejects |
| Web Throttling | minutes/hours | web | many web requests to entries | scraping, mirroring |
| API Throttling | seconds/minutes | api | majority of network traffic | flooding, denial of service |
| Credits Exhaustion | hours | api | API credits exhausted | regular behavior, rogue script |
