The filter is throttled in the sense of emergency throttling. Although the naming is very similar, you may notice that "throttled" is listed under "status", not "consequences".

That said, there's an actual bug here: the filter is reported as being throttled although no actions have been disabled automatically (because warn and disallow aren't "serious" enough). That's T200036, which is also fairly trivial to fix. The main problem there is understanding how to fix it.
