This isn't really an option for us because (with exception to Wordpress) many times the load that gets people suspended isn't caused by excessive inbound traffic to an account. Very often it'll be caused by things like broken cron jobs, scripts stuck in infinite loops, or by poorly written continuously running programs (node.js, python discord bots, etc.), which more often than not don't have an incoming connection.

 

That said, you could definitely implement your own code that checks the server load and make your application refuse service with a 508 if you wish. This would be an effective way to help reduce your account's chance of suspension. If your app disables itself and doesn't produce any load beyond spitting out the error and exiting when the server gets busy, you'll lower your chances of suspension drastically (during high load, the server suspends accounts in order with the heaviest users first until load is acceptable again).
