The --throttle option adds a pause between queries in batch mode, which can be useful for long or intensive scripts. Technically we pause between each line of input, which is usually equivalent to one query.

Looks good!
Follow-up question; you aren't intending for this to work with the -e option right? Think by batch you mean the piping in (mycli < test.sql), but wanted to verify you didn't want it to work for -e executing too.

@rolandwalker Could be multiple queries from -e or from the prompt even. However I wasn't suggesting you should do that, just clarifying your goals for the feature. |

and run each specified query in turn. The current behavior is to accept multiple --execute options, but to only execute the last one: a bug. Since there are multiple values, we can also support --throttle, per the discussion in #1460. One inconsistency between STDIN and --execute is that --execute does not support warning on destructive queries. This should probably be resolved in the direction of removing the warning from scripts on STDIN.
