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.

Scope and basis
