This also feels like it combines nicely with quotemstr's proposal that you have some form of "proof of humanity" to bypass rate limiting. If I can prove my humanity to the token issuer (TLS client cert, JWT, whatever), I get a reduced rate, while someone who can't (or doesn't want to) can pay full rate for access tokens.
