Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for providing thinned manifests during a live event. As network usage of a regional internet service provider (ISP) or content delivery network (CDN) becomes unsustainable, new streaming sessions for a live event are provided a thinned manifest that does not have playback options for bitrates above a bitrate limit.
