Full definition of throttle
When you bulk-process 10,000 records, hitting an API at full speed will rate-limit you. A throttle (e.g., 5 req/sec) paces the requests. Tiny Command has a built-in Throttle node you can drop in front of any action. Useful for staying under API limits, smoothing spiky load, or being a polite API consumer.

FAQ
Common questions about throttle
Throttle vs Rate Limit?
Same concept, different sides. Rate limit = API restricting you. Throttle = you restricting yourself to stay safely under the rate limit.
Where in the workflow does the Throttle go?
Just before the rate-limited action. Earlier steps can run at full speed; only the slow action gets throttled.
