How can we prevent all requests from going to the rate limit service when rate limits are not configured?

[subrata1992]

Once the ratelimit service is deployed and an EnvoyFilter is created to register it with the Istio ingress gateway, all incoming requests will be directed to the ratelimit service for rate limiting, regardless of whether rate limiting rules are defined for those specific REST API paths. However, it is possible to prevent all requests from being sent to the ratelimit service if no ratelimit rules are configured for them.
