More like the "gooner/jailbreak tax"

For my product I don't charge the user for blocked requests because content classifiers aren't perfect and sometimes trigger frivolously... but in theory a persistent user intentionally trying to push boundaries could cost me a lot of money: since I'm still paying for resources used to do the inference that was blocked.

This seems like an ok way to deal with that gap, but only if there's a reasonable amount of grace built in that they're not detailing here (since detailing it will result in people abusing right up until said grace expires)

That make sense but... It establishes a new precedent by imposing new standards on users which may be misused in the future. Policy is private and very difficult to define, it may be interpreted by gusto/convenience.

This can only be good for our business, HugstonOne will get more users, like exponentially fast :)
