Set a hard limit on how far a response can go, no matter how large the input gets. Unlike a brake, which softens every reaction, this leaves ordinary swings alone and bites only at the extreme, stopping rare blowouts.

Example

You pay yourself a fixed 6,000 dollars a month whatever lands in the business account. The 14,000-dollar month cannot turn into a 9,000-dollar spending month, because the transfer is capped at 6,000 and the surplus stays put.
