Convert a request count over a period into requests per minute.
A raw count means nothing without its window. Dividing by the window gives a rate, which is then rescaled to per-minute, per-hour, per-day and per-month so it can be compared against whichever unit your dashboards and quotas use. Capacity limits, quotas and licences are all expressed as rates, so converting a count into the matching time base is the first step in any sizing exercise.
Requests Per Minute
