Abstract
Techniques for controlling resource usage in a computing environment are provided. In one technique, a target resource usage for a particular point in time is determined for a content delivery campaign. Determining, for the content delivery campaign, a current resource usage for the particular point in time. Also, a bandwidth associated with the target resource usage at the particular point in time is determined. Based on a difference between the current resource usage and one or more boundaries of the bandwidth, a throttling factor is calculated. Based on the throttling factor, a probability of the content delivery campaign participating in a content item selection event is determined.
