What is a "throttle" when used within a Business Object context?

In the context of a Business Object within Blue Prism, a "throttle" refers to a mechanism that regulates the pacing of processes to ensure optimal performance and resource management. Specifically, it involves using wait stages to help manage the flow of operations by introducing intentional delays or pauses between actions. This allows for better load balancing and reduces the risk of overloading systems, especially when dealing with external applications or APIs that may have rate limits. By incorporating throttling, developers can create more efficient and robust automation flows that adhere to the operational constraints of connected systems.

The other options describe different functionalities: pausing execution pertains to controlling the flow of a process but does not specifically address the pacing aspect; limiting the number of transactions relates to managing overall workload rather than pacing; and managing error handling focuses on how to respond to mistakes during execution rather than influencing the speed of process execution. Each of these has its own merits, but they do not capture the specific function of throttling as it pertains to pacing the execution of tasks within a Business Object.
