Or just set a date and start rejecting 1% of all requests on that date, 2% the next day, etc. Software that retries immediately will get slower and slower, which will hopefully cause someone to investigate before bandwidth costs become ridiculous. Even if it doesn't help the API users to notice it, you can estimate better what it will do when you turn it off for 100% of the requests.
