+```
+Threading can be achieved by using a shared auth object with sessions in each thread. As `ManagerSession` is not guaranteed to be thread-safe, it is recommended to create one session per thread. `ManagerSession` also comes in with a default `RequestLimiter`, which limits the number of concurrent requests to 50. It keeps `ManagerSession` from overloading the server and avoids HTTP 503 and HTTP 429 errors.
+If you wish to modify the limit, you can pass a modified `RequestLimiter` to `ManagerSession`:
+```python
+from catalystwan.session import ManagerSession
+from catalystwan.vmanage_auth import vManageAuth
+from catalystwan.request_limiter import RequestLimiter
+
+auth = vManageAuth(username="username", password="password")
+limiter = RequestLimiter(max_requests=30)
+manager = ManagerSession(base_url="https://url:port", auth=auth, request_limiter=limiter)
+```

 ## API usage examples
 All examples below assumes `session` variable contains logged-in [Manager Session](#Manager-Session) instance.
