Temporary limits triggered by a response
A throttle profile that switches itself on when a receiving server says something matching a pattern, and switches itself off after a set time.
In detail
Structurally this is capacity with four extra columns — the pattern to match against the server's response, the match type, how long the reduced limits last, and how long to stop talking to that destination altogether. It is the engine's own reflex: no operator, no Hub, no round trip. A receiver says "slow down" in its own words, the pattern matches, and the limits drop for the next few minutes. By DECISIONS § 62 this stays with the engine — a reaction that has to happen in the same second cannot wait for a management system to notice.
