nitinrahim Yes, the throughput control group feature does the throttling on the client side when the target throughput or target throughput threshold is exceeded.

Hope this helps!

  Hi Manish,
  Thanks for your response.
  What would be default client side throttling behavior if we are using JAVA SDK? What will be the error returned before hitting the cosmos db in case of client side throttling ? Will it return a status code 429 after a cumulative wait time of 30 seconds? Will it retry 9 times(default sdk times)? And other transactions which are not in the througputcontrolgroup will be unaffected during this client side throttling right if that not exceeds the RU's allocated?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  With Regards,

nitinrahim I hope someone can chime in for you as I don't know anything about this.

I can tag a few of our superstar community members, but I'm not sure if they know about what you are asking, worth a shot though!

sansbacher, Greg_Lindner or MANISH_SHARMA would you know anything about this? Thank you in advance. 🙂
