What is the recommended way to get the number of currently matching players from multiple queues?

My goal is to get the number of matchmaking players per queue simultaneously (or in just a short time) so that I can display the metrics in the game.

Example setup:

Queues

  1. Casual Queue
  2. Competitive Queue
  3. Random Queue

I've tried GetQueueStatisitcs API but it is currently rate limited to 1 request per minute globally.

Currently, we only provide the API GetQueueStatistics to get the current number of players in the matchmaking queue, who are waiting to be matched. As the API reference said, statistics will be refreshed once every 5 minutes. There is no other official feature can be used to get the queue statistics. For your case, you can try to record the number of players who are waiting to be matched manually in the external cache such as Redis, so that you can write and read the data in real time.
