 ## Flow Credit Increments {#fc-credit}
 
-This document leaves when and how many bytes to advertise in a MAX_STREAM_DATA
-or MAX_DATA frame to implementations, but offers a few considerations.  These
-frames contribute to connection overhead.  Therefore frequently sending frames
-with small changes is undesirable.  At the same time, larger increments to
-limits are necessary to avoid blocking if updates are less frequent, requiring
-larger resource commitments at the receiver.  Thus there is a trade-off between
-resource commitment and overhead when determining how large a limit is
-advertised.
+Implementations decide when and how much credit to advertise in MAX_STREAM_DATA

+To avoid blocking a sender, a receiver can send a MAX_STREAM_DATA or MAX_DATA
+frame multiple times within a round trip or send it early enough to allow for
+recovery from loss of the frame.

 A receiver can use an autotuning mechanism to tune the frequency and amount of
 advertised additional credit based on a round-trip time estimate and the rate at
 which the receiving application consumes data, similar to common TCP
-implementations.  As an optimization, sending frames related to flow control
-only when there are other frames to send or when a peer is blocked ensures that
-flow control doesn't cause extra packets to be sent.
-
-If a sender runs out of flow control credit, it will be unable to send new data
-and is considered blocked.  It is generally considered best to not let the
-sender become blocked.  To avoid blocking a sender, and to reasonably account
-for the possibility of loss, a receiver should send a MAX_DATA or
-MAX_STREAM_DATA frame at least two round trips before it expects the sender to
-get blocked.
-
-A receiver MUST NOT wait for a STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED or DATA_BLOCKED frame before
-sending MAX_STREAM_DATA or MAX_DATA, since doing so will mean that a sender will
-be blocked for at least an entire round trip, and potentially for longer if the
-peer chooses to not send STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED or DATA_BLOCKED frames.
+implementations.  As an optimization, an endpoint could send frames related to
+flow control only when there are other frames to send or when a peer is blocked,
+ensuring that flow control does not cause extra packets to be sent.
+
+A blocked sender is not required to send STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED or DATA_BLOCKED
+frames. Therefore, a receiver MUST NOT wait for a STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED or
+DATA_BLOCKED frame before sending a MAX_STREAM_DATA or MAX_DATA frame; doing so
+could result in the sender being blocked for the rest of the connection. Even if
+the sender sends these frames, waiting for them will result in the sender being
+blocked for at least an entire round trip.
+
+When a sender receives credit after being blocked, it might be able to send a
+large amount of data in response, resulting in short-term congestion; see
+Section 6.9 in {{QUIC-RECOVERY}} for a discussion of how a sender can avoid this
+congestion.
