## Applicability
 | 
						|
The Throttling pattern should be used:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* When a service access needs to be restricted to not have high impacts on the performance of the service.
 | 
						|
* When multiple clients are consuming the same service resources and restriction has to be made according to the usage per client.
