rate limiting is not working for with .net6 and AspNetCoreRateLimit 5.0

[karthikchintala1]

I'm trying to setup rate limiting for my app but unfortunately it's not working as expected. In the below example, I've setup a limit to 1 under 1 min. But, I'm able to make multiple requests to the API's wthin the timeframe.

Here is my startup.cs file

builder.Services.AddOptions();

// needed to store rate limit counters and ip rules
builder.Services.AddMemoryCache();

//load general configuration from appsettings.json
builder.Services.Configure<ClientRateLimitOptions>(builder.Configuration.GetSection("ClientRateLimiting"));
builder.Services.AddMemoryCache();
builder.Services.AddInMemoryRateLimiting();

// Add framework Services.
builder.Services.AddMvc(option => option.EnableEndpointRouting = false);

// configuration (resolvers, counter key builders)
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IRateLimitConfiguration, RateLimitConfiguration>();

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseClientRateLimiting();
app.UseMvc();
await app.RunAsync();

and here is my appsettings.json file

{
  "ClientRateLimiting": {
    "EnableEndpointRateLimiting": false,
    "StackBlockedRequests": false,
    "ClientIdHeader": "X-ClientId",
    "HttpStatusCode": 429,
    "GeneralRules": [
      {
        "Endpoint": "*",
        "Period": "1m",
        "Limit": 1
      }
    ]
  }
}

I've looked on stack overflow and googled a bit but couldn't find anything helpful.

Frameworks and libraries:
.NET 6 API,
AspNetCoreRateLimit 5.0.0

It might not help you, but I recently tested UseClientRateLimiting in net 6.0 and it was working just fine, I've been having problemas only with UseIpRateLimiting. The only difference was that I set "EnableEndpointRateLimiting": true
