Provided are techniques for throttling using message partitioning and buffering. A plurality of messages are stored in an input topics buffer, where the input topics buffer is stored in a plurality of partitions, and where each of the partitions of the plurality of partitions is associated with a tenant subgroup of a plurality of tenant subgroups of a tenant. A message of the plurality of messages from the tenant subgroup of the tenant is selected. A throttle count for the tenant subgroup is retrieved. A maximum message threshold for the tenant is retrieved. In response to determining that the throttle count is less than the maximum message threshold, the message is moved from the input topics buffer to a work topics buffer. In response to determining that the throttle count is equal to or greater than the maximum message threshold, throttling the tenant subgroup.
