[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-16635) Flaky test "shouldThrottleOldSegments(String).quorum=kraft" – kafka.server.ReplicationQuotasTest

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16635?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18101155#comment-18101155 ] 

Yunseop Eom commented on KAFKA-16635:
-------------------------------------

PR opened: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23042

Investigated the flaky failure where replication completed in 2203 ms, below the fixed 3600 ms lower bound. The test was using elapsed time as a proxy for quota enforcement, although the first fetch may exceed the configured rate before the rolling quota sensor has a complete sample.

The PR removes that fragile lower-bound assertion, keeps a generous upper bound for unexpectedly slow replication, and verifies the measured leader replication byte rate remains within the established tolerance range. This directly tests quota enforcement while allowing the documented initial burst.

Validation:
- Full ReplicationQuotasTest: passed
- Targeted shouldThrottleOldSegments test: passed
- 5 baseline repetitions before the change: all passed
- Spotless and Checkstyle: passed
- git diff --check: passed

Status: PR is open and awaiting review.
