According to Kibana, some projects are exported several times in a short period. Since exporting projects consume a lot of resources, we should consider limiting the number of times a project can be exported.
For example, there are cases of projects being exported 40 times in a period of 7 days, on average, five exports per day or one every 4 hours.
Apparently, users are using Project Export as a disaster recovery tool, and I believe one reason is our documentation recommends using Project Export as a backup solution. However, I don't think the tool was built with such intention at least the MR that introduced such information doesn't explain why we decided to suggest Project Export as a backup solution.
