Throttle alerts based on field value

Is it possible to throttle alerts by field value?

For example: I want to alert when the value of field "action" is "delete" and throttle any subsequent results for 10 minutes unless the value of the field "username" changes.

Yes, change the Alert mode to Once per result which will enable a field called Per result throttling fields which is where you put username.
