I modified this script a little bit to work with the new version of deluge-console (added --verbose parameter), and adapted it to be used with a docker setup, such as in Unraid. I'm a noob when it comes to GitHub, so I put my updated file as a fork here.

Keep in mind that, if you are using this in an unraid setup like I am, you have to give access to the docker command from the tautulli container. To do that, you can follow these procedures:

1. SSH into unraid
2. Take note of the gid of the docker group: cat /etc/group | grep docker
3. Create a new user called tautulli: useradd -MN -G docker --shell=/bin/false -g DOCKER_GID tautulli
4. Take note of the uid of the tautulli user: cat /etc/passwd | grep tautulli
5. Edit the tautulli container settings as follows...
6. Change the PUID to the tautulli uid (from step 4)
7. Change the PGID to the tautulli gid (from step 4)
8. Add a bind mounts /var/run/docker.sock to /var/run/docker.sock
9. Add a bind mounts /usr/bin/docker to /usr/bin/docker
10. Modify the variables in deluge_throttle.sh according to your setup

Additionally, you can set the following tautulli conditions to prevent throttling if you are using your plex server locally:
