 The delay (in milliseconds) for `INSERT` is calculated by the formula:
-
 ```code
 max_k = parts_to_throw_insert - parts_to_delay_insert
 k = 1 + parts_count_in_partition - parts_to_delay_insert
 delay_milliseconds = pow(max_delay_to_insert * 1000, k / max_k)
 ```
+For example, if a partition has 299 active parts and parts_to_throw_insert = 300, parts_to_delay_insert = 150, max_delay_to_insert = 1, `INSERT` is delayed for `pow( 1 * 1000, (1 + 299 - 150) / (300 - 150) ) = 1000` milliseconds.
 
 Starting from version 23.1 formula has been changed to:
 ```code
-allowed_parts_over_threshold = parts_to_throw_insert - parts_to_delay_insert + 1
+allowed_parts_over_threshold = parts_to_throw_insert - parts_to_delay_insert
 parts_over_threshold = parts_count_in_partition - parts_to_delay_insert + 1
 delay_milliseconds = max(min_delay_to_insert_ms, (max_delay_to_insert * 1000) * parts_over_threshold / allowed_parts_over_threshold)
 ```
