Hi,

I'm trying to creating "Rate-limit" filter and I've seen some advises regarding using throttle+sleep to achieve this goal.  
However, I failed todo it myself...  
Can anyone provide an example for (just for the sake of arguing 😄) doing something like that:  
Upload rate of 300 events per second.

From my games with the throttle filter I've found ways to simply ignore some of the events but not making the entire pipeline work in a given rate without losing events.

Thanks!
