I am currently configuring the RateLimit service using the latest documentation, and I’ve noted a significant discrepancy.

The README provides links to the OpenTelemetry OTLP Exporter Documentation, yet the service does not support these standard variables (e.g., OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL).

Instead, the service requires custom, project-specific variables like TRACING_EXPORTER_PROTOCOL.
