| overrideId | string | The unique identifier of this specific rate limit override. This ID is generated when the override is created and can be used for management operations like updating or deleting the override. |
| duration | integer | The duration in milliseconds for this override's rate limit window. This may differ from the default duration for the namespace, allowing custom time windows for specific entities. After this duration |
