granting API access in excess of the free tier would most likely constitute something of value, but yeah - probably wouldn't bother, it would be expensive to pursue and not worth it.

> To my mind the acquiring and delivering of the [used chocolate bar] wrappers was
certainly part of the consideration in these cases, and I see no good reason
for drawing a distinction between these and other cases. — Lord Reid
> It is said that when received the wrappers are of no
value to Nestlé’s. This I would have thought irrelevant. A contracting
party can stipulate for what consideration he chooses. A peppercorn does
not cease to be good consideration if it is established that the promisee
does not like pepper and will throw away the corn. — Lord Somervell of Harrow
