There's already a rate limit on pulls. All this does is make that rate limit more inconvenient by making it hourly instead of allowing you to amortize it over 6 hours.

10 per hour is slightly lower than 100 per 6 hours, but not in any meaningful way from a bandwidth perspective, especially since image size isn't factored into these rate limits in any way.

If bandwidth is the real concern, why change to a more inconvenient time period for the rate limit rather than just lowering the existing rate limit to 60 per 6 hours?
