What happens when you have a gym membership, but you go there during their busy hours?
What they could do is pay as you go, with pricing increasing with the demand (Uber style), but I don't think people would like that much.

Your analogy would work if the gym would randomly suspend your membership for a week if you worked out too much during peak hours
One day a few of hours of prompting is fine, another you'll hit your weekly limit and you're out for seven days.
While still paying your subscription.
I can't think of any other product or service which operates on this basis - where you're charged a set fee, but the access you get varies from hour to hour entirely at the provider's whim. And if you hit a limit which is a moving target you can't even check you're locked out of the service.
It's ridiculous. Begging for a law suit, tbh.
