It looks more like it's for limiting your own outbound API calls, or resources usage, etc.



Hi, author here. That was exactly my motivation for writing it. There's all sort of middleware and plugins out there for throttling from the server side, but I found nothing that would let me control my own outbound API calls to a an external service in Clojure. I also wanted support for burstiness, and that was even harder to find.

I bet you could come up with other uses for it though. Someone told me over email they're planning on using it in traffic simulation for a game, for instance.
