- To limit the number of emails sent to a particular domain each hour.
2- Use Wait by attribute activityWait by attribute activity. In this case, you need to do the segmentation outside of Journey Builder using SQL for exampleyou need to do the segmentation outside of Journey Builder using SQL for example.
