Burp 2.0: How do I throttle requests?
Summary: Burp Suite 2.x replaces the request throttling settings that Burp 1.x applied to the Spider and Scanner tools with resource pools, which apply throttling at the task level. Each resource pool can be configured with a limit on concurrent requests, a request rate, or both, and more than one task can be added to a pool.
Key Takeaway: Teams that carried over 1.x habits now set throttling per task rather than per tool, so a scan can run in a fast pool while a rate-sensitive target sits in a slow one - and a task placed in the wrong pool goes out at whatever rate that pool allows.
