Solved: Overage handling

Overage handling

I'd like to use CoPilot Studio on our public facing website to answer questions. I understand the price is $200/month for 25,000 messages. I'm wondering what exactly happens on an overage. I found documentation from Microsoft that says "In an environment, when consumption exceeds available capacity, the environment is in overage and some features are progressively blocked. We allow some level of overage consumption, similar to a grace period, to avoid blocking business processes." I'm wondering what exactly happens when features are "progressively blocked"?

Many years ago, we had a feature on our website that asked for comments, and you did not have to authenticate to post. Suddenly, one day, we just had a ton of spam comments. That's fixed now. But I'm wondering what would happen if some random person on the Internet writes a bot to repeatedly ask random questions of our Copilot Studio? Could they ask so many questions on the first day of the month that we hit our overage? Is there any built-in protection against this type of denial-of-service attack? I don't want to go live only to quickly find out it breaks every month, or that we need to pay a ton more money.
