Minimizing overage exposure - automated 'predictive throttling'

Visual reference of budgeting system intelligently reducing  burn rates as budget approached maximum for the specified period. Note the predictive throttling measure to automatically reduce the exposure to overage, as opposed to going from full speed to stopped (it is impossible to know when a click might occur).

Budget Catchup

Budget 'catchup'. with the 3 campaigns below, all with the same budget, the blue campaign is started at midnight, the yellow at 6am,, and the red at 12 midday. Note the 'catchup mechanism increasing the burn rate to 'catch up ' to the midnight campaign (shown in blue). Note also all campaign are predictively throttled as per previous graphic.
