+_throttle_protection
+--------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+   This preset is already a base preset of those higher-level presets that require it,
+   so users seldom need to use it directly, for example, unless they're writing presets
+   from scratch.
+
+This preset is primarily a sensible default configuration of :ref:`the
+'throttle_protection' plugin <config_reference/plugins:throttle_protection>` along with
+an override to disable the plugin:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   overrides:
+     # Disable throttle protection:
+     enable_throttle_protection: false
+
+In addition to throttling by denying download requests, some services also throttle
+downloads by only allowing downloads of the lowest resolution quality. At the time of
+writing, only YouTube does this by allowing only 360p downloads when throttled. To work
+around this kind of throttling, this preset includes :ref:`an assertion
+<config_reference/scripting/scripting_functions:error functions>` that will stop
+downloading when ``ytdl-sub`` downloads a video at 360p or lower. It supports the
+following overrides:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+   overrides:
+     # Disable resolution quality throttle protection:
+     enable_resolution_assert: false
+     # Change the resolution below which to assume downloading is throttled:
+     resolution_assert_height_gte: 481
