Totally. But is that the only use? What I wanted to flesh out was whether
the goal was:
1. Expose throttling in the client metrics
2. Enable programmatic response (i.e. stop sending stuff or something like
that)

I think I kind of understand (1) but let's get specific on the metric we
would be adding and what exactly you would expose  in a dashboard. For
example if the goal is just monitoring do I really want a boolean flag for
is_throttled or do I want to know how much I am being throttled (i.e.
throttle_pct might indicate the percent of your request time that was due
to throttling or something like that)? If I am 1% throttled that may be
irrelevant but 99% throttled would be quite relevant? Not sure I agree,
just throwing that out there...

For (2) the prior discussion seemed to kind of allude to this but I can't
really come up with a use case. Is there one?

If it is just (1) I think the question is whether it really helps much to
have the metric on the client vs the server. I suppose this is a bit
environment specific. If you have a central metrics system it shouldn't
make any difference, but if you don't I suppose it does.
