Description

Originally here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/pull/2863#discussion_r2260111072

> Is it also worth explaining *why* we have fair usage limits and what we're trying to prevent? i.e. we want to allow free exchanges of media as part of normal chat in rooms, but we do not support using matrix as a "file store".
