Description

LCORE-4606, item 3 of its fix direction. On SQLite a limiter period that datetime() cannot parse (1 week, 1 day 2 hours) makes the renewal condition NULL: the quota is never renewed, with no error. Both are valid PostgreSQL intervals, the syntax the period documentation links to.

QuotaHandlersConfiguration gets an after-validator. With sqlite set, each limiter period is tried on an in-memory SQLite (utils.checks.is_valid_sqlite_period()) and accepted if datetime() moves a fixed time forward, which a zero or negative period does not. Otherwise the configuration load fails with an error naming the limiter, the period and the accepted form (e.g. 7 days).

Not checked on purpose: anything without sqlite (PostgreSQL has a wider syntax and cannot be asked without a server). A non-interval modifier that moves the time forward (weekday 0) passes. Should merge after #2874: the check accepts a period that moves the time forward, which is what the corrected condition there needs. src/quota/sql.py and the scheduler are not touched here.

Size: +193/-19. Source +68/-1 (with one sentence in the QuotaLimiterConfiguration docstring), tests +109/-11, the seven checked-in documentation copies of that docstring +16/-7. Five existing test configurations had filler text as the period next to sqlite and now have real periods.

Testing

  1. Load a real configuration with a rejected and with an accepted period. Make two copies of examples/lightspeed-stack-quota-limiter-sqlite.yaml, one-week.yaml and seven-days.yaml, with the period of user_monthly_limits (line 28) set to "1 week" in the first and to "7 days" in the second. Load each through the service entry point, which loads the configuration, dumps it to configuration.json and exits: uv run python src/lightspeed_stack.py -c <file> --dump-configuration. Expected: the first fails with the new error and writes nothing, the second is dumped. The last lines of each run follow; the exit status and configuration.json lines are printed by the shell script around the command, the numbered ones by its grep -n '"period": "' configuration.json.

one-week.yaml:

pydantic_core._pydantic_core.ValidationError: 1 validation error for Configuration
quota_handlers
  Value error, Quota limiter 'user_monthly_limits': period '1 week' can not be used with the SQLite storage.

    For further information visit https://errors.pydantic.dev/2.13/v/value_error
exit status: 1
configuration.json not written

seven-days.yaml:

2026-10-08 21:27:44.084 INFO:     Configuration dumped to configuration.json  [lightspeed_stack.__main__:207]
exit status: 0
configuration.json written; limiter periods in it:
116:                "period": "7 days"
123:                "period": "30 seconds"

On main the same one-week.yaml is loaded and dumped (exit status: 0, and the dumped file holds "period": "1 week"). The five tracked YAML files with a quota_handlers section, all under examples/ and three of them with sqlite, still load.

  1. Run the tests of the change. With the validator's check skipped, the six rejected-period cases fail.
uv run pytest tests/unit/models/config/test_quota_handlers_config.py tests/unit/utils/test_checks.py -q   # 64 passed, 23 of them new
  1. Run the full suites and the linters:
uv run pytest tests/unit -q                                                         # 3730 passed, 1 skipped (main: 3707 passed, 1 skipped)
uv run pytest tests/integration --ignore=tests/integration/container_lifecycle -q   # 326 passed (main: 326 passed)
uv run make format                                                                  # no changes
uv run make black ruff docstyle pylint pyright                                      # all pass
# mypy with the flags of `make check-types`, `-n4 --no-site-packages` in place of `-n10` (the make target itself was not run),
# fails as on main: 1 error in src/models/config.py (line 1740, CustomProfile) and 49 in 10 test files, the same lists on both sides

On a trial merge with #2874 the unit suite gives the same 3730 passed, 1 skipped. The renewal statements of main and of #2874 were also run from a script (in-memory SQLite 3.50.4, table from the repository's CREATE statement): with the statements of #2874, 7 days renews a row last renewed 8 days ago and leaves one renewed 6 days ago; 1 week renews nothing with either, also after 400 days.

Not run: the behave e2e suite (no configuration under tests/e2e or tests/e2e-prow has a quota_handlers section), anything against a PostgreSQL server (that 1 week and 1 day 2 hours are valid intervals there is from its documentation), and the scheduler on a running service. SQLite here is 3.50.4, the library of Python 3.13; the SQLite of the service image was not looked at.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • SQLite-backed quota configurations now validate periods and reject unsupported or non-forward-moving values. Periods such as 7 days are accepted; 1 week is rejected.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified the supported period format for SQLite quota configuration.

With the SQLite quota storage the scheduler passes the limiter period
to datetime() as a modifier. For a period SQLite cannot parse, such as
"1 week" or "1 day 2 hours", datetime() returns NULL, the renewal
condition is never true and the quota is never renewed, with no error.

QuotaHandlersConfiguration now checks every limiter period when sqlite
is configured and fails the configuration load with an error that names
the limiter and the period. SQLite itself is asked: a period is accepted
when datetime() moves a fixed timestamp forward, so zero and negative
periods are rejected as well. Nothing is checked without sqlite.

Unit tests cover accepted and rejected periods with sqlite, "1 week"
with postgres only and with no storage, and the helper. Five existing
test configurations paired sqlite with filler text as the period; they
now use periods SQLite accepts.
The description of a limiter period points to the PostgreSQL interval
syntax only. The SQLite storage takes the period as a modifier of the
SQLite function datetime(), which accepts less: "7 days" works and
"1 week" does not.

The QuotaLimiterConfiguration docstring now says so in one sentence.
The checked-in documents that carry the docstring get the same
sentence. docs/devel_doc/openapi.json and
docs/models/successful_responses.{json,md} are rebuilt by their
make targets. docs/devel_doc/openapi.md, the three docs/user_doc/config
files and the schema example in test_models_dumper.py are edited by
hand, as no make target writes them.

Checked: the description in the three JSON documents equals the one in
the model schema, the Markdown documents contain it verbatim and the
HTML matches its pandoc rendering.

Walkthrough

Quota handler configuration now checks SQLite limiter periods against SQLite date modifier behavior. Documentation and tests describe accepted periods, rejected periods, and storage-specific validation.

Changes

SQLite quota period validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Check SQLite period modifiers
src/utils/checks.py, tests/unit/utils/test_checks.py
A helper checks whether a SQLite period moves a fixed timestamp forward. Tests cover valid and invalid period strings.
Validate quota handler periods

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d4b90

The new SQLite period check rejects unsupported formats such as 1 week. However, it still accepts weekday-style values such as weekday 0, which do not always move the renewal time forward. A configuration that uses such a value could reset quotas on every scheduler run instead of once per period. Restrict accepted periods to positive durations before merging.

Full details: Performance And Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

Meaningful repeated database work occurs inside the limiter loop. In src/models/config.py:2626-2627, each SQLite-configured limiter calls is_valid_sqlite_period; src/utils/checks.py:184-188 opens a new in-memory SQLite connection and executes a query for every call. This is linear but adds connection setup per item. A standalone comparison measured about 365 ms for 10,000 connection-plus-query checks versus 22 ms for 10,000 queries on one connection. This is an expensive-work-in-loop regression for non-trivial limiter lists.

Resolution

Reuse one in-memory SQLite connection for the complete check_limiter_periods validation, and execute the period query on that connection for each limiter. Close the connection after the loop. Keep the current validation and error reporting behavior.

Reject modifiers that do not always advance the renewal time.

weekday 0 advances the fixed Saturday reference, so this check accepts it. On a Sunday, SQLite leaves datetime(revoked_at, 'weekday 0') unchanged. With the corrected inclusive renewal predicate, the quota can then reset on every scheduler pass. Restrict periods to positive duration modifiers, and test a timestamp on the modifier’s target weekday. (sqlite.org)
