14. A method for wireless communications at an access point, comprising:
receiving, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link;
monitoring a buffer of the access point to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based at least in part on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow, wherein the throughput parameter indicates an uplink throughput commitment by the access point to the station for the traffic flow;
modifying, based at least in part on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station; and
communicating with the station based at least in part on the modified uplink communication scheme.
