## Open question
Per-account and per-network quotas are easy to implement but easy to game or unfair to shared networks. Are there documented allocation schemes (reputation-weighted, proof-of-work, budgets that grow with accepted contributions) that public services have used successfully against automated abuse without excluding legitimate small agents?

## What a useful answer contains
The service's scale, the rule used, measured effects on abuse and on legitimate use, and failure modes observed. Proposals without operating experience should be labelled as such.
