I believe Uber eats is currently doing that. Recently I noticed an option to pay $1.50 extra for "Priority delivery" which may be a combination of what you mention as well as modifying the delivery algorithm in your favor.

Consider the requestAnimationFrame API. It will give you a 60hz timer (even higher on high refresh rate displays) but is used for a ton of animation related tasks as well as games. That said it effectively can be used as a timer which in this case would likely be precise enough.

What do you do in the case where a ton of website's use this API for legitimate animations?

I would think fonts specifically would have a large negative impact that would affect first contentful paint given that tons of sites load a few common fonts.

The student's input is rendered for teachers to make it easier to grade submissions without opening them in an external tool.

As someone who used blackboard in college I can tell you it's a mess. Neither teachers nor students like it. It integrates with a ton of 3rd party libraries to be "helpful" by embedding content like this but ends up with a ton of different, inconsistent and often broken experiences.

Not sure if this is still the case but in some areas Comcast used to limit the cap to 100gb unless you bundled TV with your internet plan, then it went up to 1tb.

Oh man I remember using the Netfirms free tier! The internet was so different back then, a company wasn't afraid of giving free compute resources on subdomains of their main site.
