So yeah you can say it's entitlement but if you build your business in one way and then change the fundamental limits AFTER you've gotten market saturation you really shouldn't be shocked at complaints. It's their fault because they fostered the previous user behavior.

People understand that bandwidth costs money but that seems to have been priced in to their previous strategy or they did it knowingly as a loss leader to gain market share. If they knew this was a fundamental limitation they should have addressed it years ago.

how would you want to them to address it?

Perhaps they should have started by putting "we will enforce limits soon" in all documentation.. and in a few years, starting enforcement but with pretty high limits? and then slowly dialing limits down over a few years?

That's exactly what they did. I remember setting up the docker proxy 4 years ago when we started getting first "rate limit" errors. And if someone was ignoring the news for all that time.. Well, tough for them, there was definitely enough notice.
