Control outbound RTB ping volume by buyer

Category: Feature
Location: Targets/RTBs → RTBs → select an RTB formula
Release Date: August 25, 2026

What’s new

  • Each RTB formula can now limit how many outbound pings Moja sends during a minute, hour, or day without reducing traffic for the entire publisher or campaign.

  • Set a maximum number of simultaneous in-flight requests to prevent one buyer endpoint from receiving more concurrent pings than it can handle.

  • Enable buyer cooldown to temporarily stop new pings after a configured number of consecutive buyer rate-limit responses, duplicate-shield responses, or timeouts. Other eligible formulas can continue competing while one formula is throttled.

  • Leave these settings blank or disabled to preserve unlimited outbound ping behavior.

How to use it

  • Open Targets/RTBs → RTBs, select an RTB formula, and configure its outbound ping rate and period, in-flight request cap, or cooldown threshold and duration.

  • Use the minute, hour, or day rate window to match the buyer’s accepted ping volume. Pair it with the in-flight cap when the endpoint also limits concurrent requests.

  • Use cooldown when repeated buyer-side rate limits, duplicate protection, or timeouts should pause that formula briefly instead of continuing to send requests.

Reporting and impact

  • In outbound RTB reporting, the By Buyer view now distinguishes pings Moja intentionally skipped because of the configured throttle from buyer HTTP 429 responses, duplicate-shield responses, and buyer timeouts.

  • Ask AI follows the same distinction, so teams can tell whether Moja protected a configured limit or the buyer rejected an actual request.

  • Teams can protect buyer relationships and endpoint capacity without pausing the buyer, removing it from routing, or slowing unrelated RTB traffic.
