+ * Both PL24 account bans (tr 2026-07-24, de 2026-09-04) followed days that wrote
+ * 5-7k new category rows — roughly 10k+ upstream calls/day — while real user
+ * decodes never exceeded 14/day. The existing guards are all job-level
+ * (jobs/min, jobs/day); nothing counted actual HTTP requests, and PL24 calls
+ * were invisible in `proxy_logs` (only pcat/emex were logged), so the volume was
+ * only reconstructable after the fact from DB row counts.
+ *
+ * This service is the one choke point every PL24 upstream call passes through:
+ *   - counts requests per UTC day in Redis and refuses new ones past the cap,
+ *   - reserves a share of that cap for real users so a runaway backfill can
+ *     never starve a paying customer's decode,
+ *   - records every attempt into `proxy_logs` (service `pl24_http`/`pl24_auth`).
+ *
+ * The cap is deliberately low to start (PL24_HTTP_DAILY_MAX, default 1200);
+ * raise it only with telemetry in hand.
