Feature request : Allow limiting by topic

[shanness]

I've got some use cases (say notifications with lights, noise, and phone push messages) where I want to rate limit, but only per topic.

Would you consider adding a "group by" or similar that you can set to topic or any field?

Without this, it's very messy, having to break out in my reusable alert flow to one throttle node per topic, then back into the flow, and maintain all the possible callers.

Cheers

I ended up building my own that does that, just a simple node up on the flow site.

Ahh, no, hadn't, thanks, looks pretty ideal!

This looks pretty good too

The one you mentioned dies with a weird error I couldn't debug, and doesn't allow passing on the topic and other data (only fixed stuff), so I've updated mine to have a required min count.
