How to limit the daily volume of a specific index?

I have one system which is the indexer, but there are multiple indexes (based upon projects)
Different projects have purchased licenses so I want to limit the indexes to various daily limits.
For example project A has purchased a 5Gig license and project B has purchased a 10Gig license.
I have project A data going to index X and project B data going to index Y.
Since both licenses are put into the auto_generated_pool_enterprise there is 15Gig volume allowed.
I want to limit project A (index X) to 5Gig per day and project B (index Y) to 10Gig per day.

If Project A (index X) gets more than 5Gig in a day, I don't want it to consume the other available license since that project didn't purchase it. I don't want to use a disk limit.

How can I limit the daily volume of a specific index?

Thanks,

This would be useful to a lot of people I think, ie one app starts indexing abnormal volumes impacting the platform, it would be useful to be able to cap volumes per index to avoid the platform not indexing further data for other apps.

you cannot...license and license pooling are per indexer not per indexes.

The only option is to split your project per indexer.
