What are the common mistakes in debouncing and throttling?

What are some scenarios where I should use debouncing?

Debouncing is great for scenarios like search input fields, where you want to wait until the user stops typing before making a request.

And when should I use throttling instead?

Throttling is useful for events like scrolling or resizing, where you want to limit the number of times a function is executed.
