Methods and systems for processing requests using load-dependent throttling

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving a job request to implement an action from a feature set having one or more configurable actions, the job request associated with a particular user of the feature set;
• comparing a count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user with an active job cap number for that user;
• and
• selectively processing the job request based on the comparison of the count of active job requests currently processed for the particular user with the active job cap number for that user,
• wherein when the count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user does not exceed the active job cap number, the job request is added to an active job queue for processing, and
• wherein when the count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user exceeds the active job cap number, the job request is placed on a throttled queue to await later processing when an updated count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user is below the active job cap number for that user.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a job request to implement an action from a feature set having one or more configurable actions, the job request associated with a particular user of the feature set;
• compare a count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user with an active job cap number for that user;
• and
• selectively process the job request based on the comparison of the count of active job requests currently processed for the particular user with the active job cap number for that user,
• wherein when the count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user does not exceed the active job cap number, the job request is added to an active job queue for processing, and
• wherein when the count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user exceeds the active job cap number, the job request is placed on a throttled queue to await later processing when an updated count of active job requests being currently processed for the particular user is below the active job cap number for that user.
