Dropped a comment on the proposal itself; short version is this feels like a bit of a band-aid move that just kicks the can down the road (and not by much at all), to the chagrin of users who would lose something they've paid for.

Biggest raised-eyebrow was data not presented on current rate of growth; a 20% saving will amount to very little if that 1GB/d number is expected to be doubling at a fast enough pace.

Second largest concern was re: exponential growth concerns; if we do encounter another 10x in user onboarding, I believe the band-aid would quickly just disintegrate under it.

The last point is on point. As you create a platform like this most platforms would love to see exponential growth, but this seems it would collapse if it did?

A platform that fights against growth seems a bit.. strange?
