Description

Problem to solve

We recently updated the Limit Reached page (https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/pull/3693) for users that reach the limits on their plan for hours or parallel workspaces for opening new workspaces. However, we're still missing the same modal when reopening existing (stopped) workspaces.

See also relevant discussion (internal). /cc @princerachit @mads-hartmann @jankeromnes

Proposal

Let's add the same modal for existing workspaces when a user reaches the limits of their plan.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Limit Reached page and tracing the flow for reopening stopped workspaces. Reproduce the limit case, then make reopening an existing workspace show the same modal as opening a new workspace and verify both paths display the updated experience.
