How to add to code limits for free plan?
I've noticed that my public app in the apify app store has a huge amount of usage from free plan users and the revenue is in the high tens of dollars negative. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to limit the free plan users for example to 100 outputs per run? thanks!

Best practices for PPR Actors
To ensure profitable operation:
Set memory limits in your actor.json file to control platform usage costs
Implement the ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS check to prevent excess result generation. You can copy this simple solution.
Test your Actor with various result volumes to determine optimal pricing
Push at least one "error item" to the dataset for invalid input or if search query didn't generate any result. This will prevent users running your Actor for free.
