Tom,
When you mentioned the FUP it reminded me that Starlink utilized a "soft cap" in some deployments. Essentially it was 250GB prioritized. Anything over 250GB would be lower priority than those in the first 250GB.
Also, based on their AUP, they appear to imply a standard X% policy (the practice where ISP's claim that the highest bandwidth consumers, typically the 1-3%, are terminated or the cap is set based on that threshold).
This is one of the reasons it's nice to use a cached media center. For example, running something similar to Plex that will allow you to cache your content when you're on a non-metered connection.
