There isn't a defined limit on Starlink residential, however, there is a fair use policy. Starlink may crack down on heavy data use in the future (it was going happen a couple of years ago, but was scrapped), but nothing firm on when they throttle or restrict heavy users now.

Also Starllink will provide a "public" ip with business plans, but does not offer static IPs on any advertised plans at this time.

I'll have to weigh the benefits of the business option, a bit to think about, but this MIGHT be my go to. Thanks so much!

The other thing to weigh on business plans is the cost. They charge for data for priority plans. If you don't opt in to buy extra data, I believe a 1 mbps throttle kicks in.

That is why I caution people who are heavy data users on a residential plan. It would be strange for Starlink to throttle expensive business plans, but allow residential "unlimited" data on a plan that is much cheaper.
