If it has been at least one period since the last load adjustment, the
client should multiply the current load by this value to get the new target
load. For example, if the current load is 100 and factor is 0.8, the new
target load should be 80. After adjusting, the client should ignore
factor until another period has passed.
The client can measure its load using any unit that's comparable over time.
For example, QPS can be used as long as each request involves a similar
amount of work.
Time that clients should wait before adjusting the target rate again.
If clients adjust rate too frequently, the impact of the previous
adjustment may not have been taken into account and may
over-throttle or under-throttle. If clients adjust rate too slowly, they
will not be responsive to load changes on server side, and may
over-throttle or under-throttle.
