I don’t realize that. It happens all the time. There are many services dedicated to helping stranded people because of it.

The analogy is not quite right though. It’s more like they are forcibly reducing max speed to prevent a high speed stall.

Cars break. They don't rate limit you. Please share with me a model of vehicle that reduces your max speed because you're low on gas.
Thanks. I still think this is more of the exception than the rule, but I do stand corrected.
