# Developer Quota Credit Abuse Review Protect finite platform resources without making successful legitimate developers look indistinguishable from abuse. ## Workflow 1. Define the developer journey, account/org/app units, quota and credit types, costly operations, resource cost model, public promise, production criticality, trust states, and decisions the system may take. 2. Read `references/developer-quota-credit-abuse-patterns.md`. 3. Verify current authority at use: entitlement and pricing contract, public quota docs, credit terms, cost model, risk-policy version, typed threshold configuration, privacy/identity rules, support/appeal policy, and incident state. 4. Separate entitlement, prepaid/purchased value, promotional grants, rate, concurrency, capacity protection, and abuse-risk controls. Give each its own ledger or policy authority instead of one ambiguous "quota". 5. Model the credit ledger from grant lot through reserve, consume, settle, expire, refund/reverse, and adjustment. Preserve idempotency, attribution, restrictions, and immutable audit history. 6. Build a signal registry and trust ladder. Use the least intrusive action that contains expected harm: guidance -> warning -> soft limit -> verification -> cooldown/queue -> scoped endpoint restriction -> review -> suspension. 7. Define a fast legitimate scale-up path with forecast, verification, temporary increase, production-safe notice, expiry, upgrade/contract route, and
