I explained the use of tokens and discussed various strategies such as the leaky bucket algorithm. The interviewer asked a follow-up question regarding potential edge cases and how to handle burst traffic. We then shifted to behavioral questions, where I discussed a past project and the challenges I faced. The overall experience was positive, and the interviewer was very friendly.
