If you have not disabled ETC in your ROM, this is throttle cut. Completely normal. It literally closes the throttles on you.
If you disable ETC it can only cut fuel, which is a slightly less safe way to limit RPM, especially if you're boosted. (Ideally you'd cut fuel and spark, but cutting spark results in backfiring and emissions-conscious automakers won't blow fuel out of the engine no matter what.)
I have ETC disabled so fuel cut is all I have, and for me, it's fine. It's a lot less abrupt than throttle control, but can cause the engine to stumble when you get back into the throttle, if you're really beating on it.
