Distributed control over client-side requests for server resources

A method for regulating a flow of requests from a client device, the method comprising:

• by a server device:
• receiving, from one or more application programs executing on the client device, a request for a budget for performing one or more operations on the server device that are requested by the one or more application programs;
• transmitting, to the client device, the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device;
• comparing a balance of the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device to a first condition associated with a predetermined threshold;
• executing a request to perform the one or more operations, from the one or more application programs, when the balance of the budget satisfies the first condition associated with the predetermined threshold;
• and
• when the server device determines that the balance of the budget satisfies a second condition associated with the predetermined threshold:
• identifying an application program that satisfies the second condition associated with the predetermined threshold;
• and
• preventing the request to perform the one or more operations, transmitted from the identified application program, from being executed.

A method for regulating a flow of requests from a client device, comprising the steps:

• by a server device:
• receiving, from an application program executing on the client device, a request for a budget for performing one or more operations on the server device that are requested by the application program;
• transmitting, to the client device, the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device;
• comparing a balance of the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device to a first condition associated with a predetermined threshold;
• executing a request to perform the one or more operations, from the application program, when the balance of the budget satisfies the first condition associated with the predetermined threshold;
• and
• when the balance of the budget satisfies a second condition associated with the predetermined threshold:
• preventing a request to perform the one or more operations, from the client device, from being executed;
• regenerating the balance of the budget;
• and
• executing a reissued request to perform the one or more operations, from the client device, when the regenerated balance of the budget satisfies the first condition associated with the predetermined threshold.

A server device configured to regulate a flow of requests from a client device, the server device comprising:

• a processor configured to cause the server device to carry out steps that include:
• receiving, from one or more application programs executing on the client device, a request for a budget for performing one or more operations on the server device that are requested by the one or more application programs;
• transmitting, to the client device, the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device;
• comparing a balance of the budget for performing the one or more operations on the server device to a first condition associated with a predetermined threshold;
• executing a request to perform the one or more operations, from the one or more application programs, when the balance of the budget satisfies the first condition associated with the predetermined threshold;
• and
• when the server device determines that the balance of the budget satisfies a second condition associated with the predetermined threshold:
• identifying an application program that satisfies the second condition associated with the predetermined threshold;
• and
• preventing the request to perform the one or more operations, transmitted from the identified application program, from being executed.
