Description

Enumerates power limit types that describe a throttled object (power or battery discharge current) and how long the throttled object can last.

Constants

`PowerLimitContinuous`

The platform could sustain infinitely if the average power is under this limit.

`PowerLimitBurst`

The platform could typically sustain at seconds level if the average power is higher than PowerLimitContinuous but lower than this limit.

`PowerLimitRapid`

The platform starts associated algorithm to throttle the domain reactively once the power peaks above this limit.

`PowerLimitPreemptive`

A limit that will not be exceeded, the platform will be preemptively throttled to prevent spikes above this limit.

`PowerLimitPreemptiveOffset`

The sum of peak power of specified devices, which is used to adjust PowerLimitPreemptive at runtime.
