It’s because it makes zero sense for me to care about how many requests I send when I have my own server.

The limit is basically 31 x 24 x 3600 x [req per second server can handle]

Even at a relatively low rate of 10rps that is 26M requests per month.

Now putting a demo environment at 2 rps per second for a whole month is pretty generous, but until I took the time to calculate it, it sounded like a pretty bad value proposition to me (even though I probably make less than 1000 requests per day).
