## Rate limiting

Network rate limiting can be applied using context blocks.

```python
with httpx.rate_limit("25MB/s"):

Differing rate limits for upload and download speeds may be applied.

```python
with httpx.rate_limit(upload="10MB/s", download="25MB/s"):

```

Supported data rates must be specified in units of bytes per second... `B/s`, `KB/s`, `MB/s`, `GB/s`, `TB/s`.
