note: I am not 100% sure that I understood it correctly but current phrasing is a bit unclear

How about

Most users send only a few requests. For fairness reasons, the first few requests of users are given priority over frequent requests by heavy users. Load shedding will therefore start with heavy users first.

As a broad guideline to stay within safety margins, users are expected to send a maximum of ~10000 requests per day and keep their download volume below ~1 GB per day.
