README
pi-throttle
A small Pi extension that enforces a minimum interval between outbound LLM provider calls. Use it to reduce request bursts and help avoid provider rate limits.
Install
pi install git:github.com/israrwz/pi-throttle
Usage
Keep provider call starts at least five seconds apart:
/throttle 5
Elapsed time counts toward the interval. With /throttle 10, if a tool takes three seconds, the next call waits seven seconds. If ten seconds have already elapsed, it starts immediately.
While throttled, Pi shows ...Waiting; it returns to Working... when the provider call starts. When enabled, the throttle interval appears at the top right of Pi's working-directory footer row.
Decimals are supported, such as /throttle 1.5. Disable throttling with:
/throttle 0
The setting applies to the current Pi runtime. It does not track provider quotas or Retry-After headers.
