I am using Kong Enterprise 0.36-2 with Postgres9.6.14. I followed instructions in the page [https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/rate-limiting-advanced/](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/rate-limiting-advanced/) to create the rate-limiting-advanced plugin :

curl -i -X POST https://kong-admin-api-\*\*\*\*\*\*/services/abcd/plugins   
–data name=rate-limiting-advanced   
–data config.limit=10,100   
–data config.window\_size=60,3600   
–data config.sync\_rate=10

and I got an error response :

{“message”:“2 schema violations (config.limit: {\n “expected a number”\n}; config.window\_size: {\n “expected a number”\n})”,“name”:“schema violation”,“fields”:{“config”:{“window\_size”:[“expected a number”],“limit”:[“expected a number”]}},“code”:2}%

the issue is similar to [https://github.com/Kong/kong/issues/4344](https://github.com/Kong/kong/issues/4344)  
and it worked after modifying the command to:  
curl -i -X POST https://kong-admin-api-\*\*\*\*/services/abcd/plugins   
–header ‘Content-Type: application/json’   
–data ‘{ “name”: “rate-limiting-advanced”, “config”: { “limit”: [10, 100], “sync\_rate”:10,“window\_size”:[60,3600]}}’

use numbers without “,”  
example:  
–data config.limit=10100  
–data config.window\_size=603600
