but this is an image resizing service, right? shouldn't you be uploading the highest quality original source?

I would've thought the workflow for these would be to upload a high quality source, and then the service creates lower quality/optimised variants.

I guess you have a limit as it is priced on total images stored and not storage/cpu used...

In a previous life I built a photo sharing community and it was quite common with >10MiB uploads, the limit I set was 25. It’s just as you say, you want the highest possible quality (within reason) for rescale purposes (and 2x monitors like the iMac)
We can support original images that are heavier than 10Mb. Please reach out if you are interested.
