### Account Throttling

New staking statistics have been added to the "Staking" page to show you the details you need to keep your account from getting throttled, and the current throttle status.

<figure><img src="/files/lKIJppWjvqXl1lgJCqDE" alt=""><figcaption><p>In this example, you can see how much has been Collected, and the true MSS Deposited amount.<br>In addition, you can see that this account is currently not getting throttled.</p></figcaption></figure>

Throttling will begin once your "Collected" amount exceeds the "MSS Deposited" amount.

Refer to the list below to see how much you will get throttled, based on how much higher your Collected amount is than MSS Deposits.

1x = 10%
\
2.5x = 20%
\
5x = 30%
\
7.5x = 40%
\
10x = 50%
\
12.5x = 60%
\
15x = 70%
\
17.5x = 80%
\
20x = 90%

For example, if you have collected over 5x more than your MSS deposits, you will have a 30% throttle.

### How Throttling Impacts an Account

If your account is being throttled, it will directly reduce the output of the staking contract, by the throttle percent.  A 20% throttled account will receive 80% of the rewards they would have received if not throttled.

Example for clarity, based on 1 million MSS staked:

Total MSS in staking: 1M

Without throttle:\
20,000 MSS daily available for compound\
10,000 MSS daily available for collect

With 20% throttle:\
16,000 MSS daily available for compound\
8,000 MSS daily available for collect
