Description
Greetings,
There are already several topics discussing the possibility of limiting data input, whether on a dataset or user basis:
- #938 – Storage metering: Allow tracking and limiting total and individual file upload space per user/group
- #3939 – File and dataset limits: Add a programmatic way to limit file size and dataset size
- #4339 – Storage allocation quota
We were also wondering to what extent it might be interesting to place a cap on the amount of data individuals depositor may deposit in a single day. This would counter the risk of mischievous users trying to jam-pack a Dataverse's storage capacity.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposal and the related issues #938, #3939, and #4339 to understand existing storage-metering and quota discussions. Determine the intended depositor scope, daily measurement, enforcement behavior, and acceptance criteria before identifying implementation entry points. Done should include an agreed design and tests for the daily upload cap.
