Set services to throttle or shut down.
Reason: during service degradation you should implement graceful degradation and prioritization (rate-limit or disable nonessential services) to preserve critical functionality. Adding bandwidth/load balancing or extra upstream links are useful mitigations/controls but may not be available or sufficient during an active event; a checklist alone doesn't address the immediate need to protect core services.
