What is Throttling?
Limiting how often a function fires within a time window. Use throttling to prevent overloading a server or API with rapid repeat calls.

Throttling limits...
Write it in your own words in the app.
In real work
Apply throttling to the search input handler so it fires at most once every 300ms. Do not fire on every single keystroke.
In the illustration
The button is hammered 24 times in 3 s; the escapement lets the striker through at most once every 300 ms, so the bell rings steadily all the way through, 10 times in all.
Add throttling to the search box so it calls the search route on your deploy platform at most once every 300 ms while typing. Include a test that proves the limit.
