The ability to set a server side throttle for (shared) plex sync would be great.   A total throttle for any plex sync transfer that is going to the internet(not local network) would be great! ---

I'm wondering this too, now that I've allowed my son at college to sync content. ---

I signed up for Plex Pass to give sync a try. Every time I try to sync a video, the PlexNewTranscoder process takes every available CPU cycle, driving my CPU utilization to 100% on all cores for the duration of the transcode. Since this is for sync, it does not throttle itself once it has buffered enough video (like a regular streaming transcode). A server setting to limit CPU utilization or to set processor affinity to limit core utilization for sync transcodes would be great. This would also be great for non-PlexPass users who share their libraries with PlexPass users.
