Haha, 'Automate server-side error reporting for customers'? That's a good one. As if customers really want to know all the nitty-gritty details when the API goes down. Let's stick to the practical solutions, folks.

I'm not so sure about A. Shorter timeouts might just create more headaches with users constantly getting logged out. I think B and C are the way to go - implement rate-limiting and maintain those API keys to keep things secure.

I agree, Desire. A and B seem like the obvious choices here. Shorter timeouts could help clear out inactive sessions, and rate-limiting the API calls would prevent that spike in requests.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the key is to focus on reducing the load on the API during peak times and maintaining better session management. What do you guys think?
