Exactly. Without going too deep into the architecture, the clients are sending data to the backend in real time, but often that data is not actionable during certain periods, so the backend can tell the clients to bundle the data and try again after a certain amount of time, or just discard the data it's currently holding and try again later (i.e. in 5/10/n seconds)

Thanks for your responses. I’m used to "throttle", seems to be a synonym right?

sure, you could say throttle.
