The per-user free-plan cap is an abuse valve, not billing logic: the org-level monthly free allowance (billing's free plan, enforced through the quota pipeline) is the real ceiling for non-paying orgs. $20 matches that allowance, so no single user can burn past the org's entire month alone - the valve only has to bound burn during the quota pipeline's ~20-minute blocking lag. Plain constant on purpose: nothing needs a no-deploy flip here (the valve has no ordering relationship with the seat-deletion cutover), so a settings knob would be machinery without a load. Changing the number again is a one-line PR. Generated-By: PostHog Code Task-Id: e6d23925-2a64-452b-aeea-fd349077f904

Problem
Free-tier posthog_code users are capped at $75/day. Under usage-based billing the org-level free allowance is $20/month, enforced through the quota pipeline within ~20 minutes, so the per-user cap only has to bound burn inside that window. $75 is far past the thing it protects.
Changes
FREE_PLAN_COST_LIMITdrops to $20 burst/day and $20 sustained/30d, matching the org allowance so one user can't burn past an org's month alone. Takes effect for free-tier users on deploy.How did you test this code?
Existing free-cap boundary tests moved to the new value ($20 blocks, $19 sustained allowed). Full gateway suite green.
