Puppeteer: Throttling rate should be greater or equal to 1

CPU throttling is set below a factor of 1.


CPU throttling is set below a factor of 1.

Error message

Throttling rate should be greater or equal to 1

How this error happens

The CPU throttling rate is a slowdown factor. A factor below 1 would request a speedup, which this API does not support.

The snippets use an open Puppeteer page named page.

await page.emulateCPUThrottling(
    0.5
);

How to fix

Use 1 for normal speed or a larger factor to simulate a slower CPU.

await page.emulateCPUThrottling(
    4
);

Things to keep in mind

CPU throttling does not simulate slow network access.
