[edit]
Problem
You want the user to rely on the system to capture the input, but not all input is immediately submitted because you are using SubmissionThrottling or ExplicitSubmission.
[edit]
Solution
Provide hints that indicate what's synchronised and what's pending. For instance, use a different background colour on text fields. This is important if you are using Explicit Submission or Throttling with a long period.
