The USB actually always runs at the same rate, and the key always generates
packets at the same rate.

As such, you'll just have to discard extraneous entropy packets if you don't
want to process them.

You could queue up a bunch of entropy and then send "^C" to reset the key and
halt the entropy flow while you use up what you have, before re-keying it to
resume.  [Assuming you're writing your own host driver and not using ekeyd]

Good luck.
