throttle

In tech contexts, the art of intentionally slowing down a process before it crashes your entire system—like a bouncer limiting entry to an overcrowded club. Originally referring to the valve controlling fuel flow in engines, it's now the savior preventing your API from melting down when a million requests hit simultaneously. When your cloud provider says they're "throttling" you, it's corporate-speak for "you're using too much of what we sold you."
