public class IpRateLimitOptions
    {
        public string RealIpHeader { get; set; }
        public List<string> ExcludeList { get; set; }
        public int GlobalRateLimit { get; set; } = 1000;

Using it in a controller

    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    [IpRateLimitHttp]
    public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
    {
        // GET api/values
        [HttpGet]
        
        public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> Get()
        {
            return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
        }
        [IpRateLimitHttp(10*60,2,"group1" )]
        // GET api/values/5
        [HttpGet("{id}")]
        public ActionResult<string> Get(int id)
        {
            return "value";
        }
        [IpRateLimitHttp(10*60,2,"group1" )]
        [HttpPost]
        public void Post([FromBody] string value)
        {
        }
    }

You can apply the filter attribute at the top of the controller class. It will apply the rule for all of the endpoints that defined in the controller or you can put the attribute at the endpoint level. If you put the attribute at the class level and the endpoint level it will work as a AND operator.
