Task execution settings - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite lets users run multiple automated tasks at once and manage them through task execution settings, accessed via a gear icon on the Tasks panel of the Burp Dashboard. Tasks can be paused and resumed individually, set to start automatically when created, and assigned to resource pools that cap concurrent requests, request rate, or both.
What you should know: Running a large volume of work in parallel can exhaust CPU, memory, or network capacity on the tester's own machine or overload the applications being tested, which is why Burp throttles requests per resource pool.
