throttling

I am trying to throttle the RPS so it does not go above a threshold throughout the duration of the test

https://github.com/bbc/gatling-load-tests/blob/master/src/test/scala/bbc/weatherwatchers/WeatherWatchersSim.scala#L68

However, even though the throttle is set to 200 r/s, I’ve had spikes of 850 r/s.

I wondered if my set-up is incorrect or it takes time to hold this throttle?

Many Thanks

Are you sure you’re not confusing requests per second (that are indeed throttled) and responses per second?

I gave it a try with current master, and everything works fine (until I run out of FD).

I have sent you the report offline.
