I think I fully support this. My main issue with subscription services in general is that for my usage, they simply don't make sense at all. Gaming is the only subscription service I feel like I might be getting enough value for my money, depending on what's available and where exactly my interests lie. In general, streaming movies, series, music etc. just isn't something I would do enough to warrant paying anything even close to the current prices they're asking. Oh, and notably that includes online gaming on consoles too, so I don't do it at all due to the prices.
I've been yearning for usage-based pricing, perhaps based on tiers instead of paying by the hour, because of this. If this leak is true and the limit is e.g. 100 hours per month, that's over 3 hours a day on average. I suspect that should be enough for most of us (I mean, most of us have a job, right?), and as long as exceeding the limit doesn't cause excessive costs, it sounds perfectly reasonable to me. If the alternative is prices going up even further, then yes, I 100% support setting limits so the customers that utilize their subscription less don't end up effectively subsidizing those that play an insane amount.
