title: 'Enable the APIPriorityAndFairness feature gate'
description: |-
To limit the rate at which the API Server accepts requests, make
sure that the API Priority and Fairness feature is enabled.
Using <tt>APIPriorityAndFairness</tt> feature provides a fine-grained way
to control the behaviour of the Kubernetes API server in an overload
situation. To enable the <tt>APIPriorityAndFairness</tt> feature gate,
make sure that the <tt>feature-gates</tt> API server argument, typically
set in the <tt>config</tt> configMap in the <tt>openshift-kube-apiserver</tt>
namespace contains <tt>APIPriorityAndFairness=true</tt>.
Note that since Kubernetes 1.20, this feature gate is enabled by default.
As a result, this rule is only applicable to OpenShift releases prior
to 4.7 which was the first OCP release to ship Kubernetes 1.20.
rationale: |-
The <tt>APIPriorityAndFairness</tt> feature gate enables the use of the
<tt>FlowSchema</tt> API objects which enforce a limit on the number of
events that the API Server will accept in a given time slice In a large
multi-tenant cluster, there might be a small percentage of misbehaving
tenants which could have a significant impact on the performance of
the cluster overall. It is recommended to limit the rate of events
that the API Server will accept.

To verify that <tt>APIPriorityAndFairness</tt> is enabled, run the following command:
