The question

A rule on a capability set may be typed as a flag, a limit, a quota or a credit. The step that turns rules into what an organization holds computes the first two and skips the other two, and the tables the design gives them, for credit grants, usage events and on-demand configuration, do not exist. Should quota and credit be built when usage is metered, or removed from the vocabulary until they are?

What depends on the answer

Whether a rule written as a quota is a misconfiguration nobody is told about, and what shape metering takes when it arrives, since these two rule kinds are where its data would land.

Options known so far

Build both with usage metering, and until then refuse them in the rule form with a reason.
Remove them from the constraint and the form, and add them back with the tables that serve them.

Decided when

The entitlements model page states which rule kinds deliver and which do not exist yet, and the rule form offers only what the answer allows.
