Thanks for the report. Generally we've considered bugs allowing abusive/malicious authenticated users to generate lots of database records as security hardening opportunities, but not practical vulnerabilities unless the impact is significantly (as in orders of magnitude) greater than the impact the same user could inflict through other allowed API calls. That aside, are unprivileged users generally allowed to set quotas? If not, then there are already plenty of ways for a malicious service administrator to cause far worse denials of service; these services aren't generally designed to protect themselves against their administrators.
