In general, it is not possible to limit _bandwidth_ usage by limiting
buffer sizes. With enough processing speed, one can [theoretically]
consume all available bandwidth using a 1-byte buffer!

However, if you just want to "slow down" all uploading connections, then
decreasing client_request_buffer_max_size is better than nothing. It
will not stop requests; it will just not let them _buffer_ more than
configured at any given time.
