set access tiers and limits by consumer type.
Planned topics

- Tiers can differ in rate, data fields, and support level.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
a tier table: internal (high limits, service identity), partner (contracted limit, key plus OAuth client), public (low limit, read-only catalog, no personal data).
Check your understanding

Show answer
A small client would be overserved and a large partner starved, and abuse is hard to isolate.
