I implement some simple per-user limits by setting max_questions to 800 (via GRANT). This is ok for virtually all users, but a few routinely hit that limit and are locked out for the hour.
The choice of 800 queries/hour was arbitrary on my part. I would prefer to gather metrics on usage in order to pick a more appropriate limit. Besides grepping the log file, is there a way to query the server to determine how many queries have been performed by a user in the current hour? I assume there should be, since that is how a user would be locked out in the event that they hit a limit.
