 Only for events written by the author atm.

Could expand to include things that tag the author but not sure how pay-per-use would work for those.

 Just bill to the paid p tag user. I have a lot of need for this.

 I can for sure do that, but what stops anyone from spam tagging a user and running their balance down?

 Are you charging per post? That could be a problem. But if it is just a monthly rate, it shouldn't be an issue. 

Users will report spam when that happens, so you can delete the event from their account if you want. 

If you want to develop relay UIs, I think a nice UI could really help people keep their relays organized with only the info they want.

 I wanted to charge per event since everyone seems to ideologically want pay per use not monthly subscriptions. Monthly fee capped at some amount of notes is easier to manage though if that’s preferred.

 I'd much rather have a fixed monthy/annual with the chain they are part of included. I wouldn't want mentions that aren't part of a  chain I didn't participate in.
Per note is feels unpredictable, like if a note blows up, it could burn through my balance pretty quickly and then I'm on the hook for a much higher annual amount if I want to continue using the service.

 The way Mazin is doing, you would only store your own events in that relay. The replies to your event must be saved somewhere else. 

But yeah, on "inbox" relays that will receive every reply to your note, I don't think a limit on the number of events makes any sense.

 Yeah correct, thats the challenge with doing it as pay-per-use. 

This was intended more to solve the problem of “where do I send my 5 year old exit.pub tweets” then a personal inbox. 

I could make individual inbox relays that users rent monthly that would stream everything tagged by their pubkey from our aggregator but thats a separate product.
