        - `overage_behavior` union, required — What happens past the limit.
          - object — Deny access once usage reaches the limit. Meteroid does not enforce this — your integration must check and act.
            - `grace_period_pct` integer, nullable
            - `type` 'BLOCK', required
          - object — Keep serving usage past the limit; overage is billed or handled out-of-band.
