Summary

Skip Voicy transcription abuse-limit counters when the chat is marked paid/donated.
Preserve existing active/chat/user throttles for unpaid chats.
Add proof coverage for direct paid-chat bypass and handler-level paid-vs-unpaid behavior.

Behavior

Paid chats bypass the abuse-limit path entirely, including the active chat job cap, chat window limit, and user window limit, so they do not receive error_transcription_user_limited, error_transcription_chat_limited, or error_transcription_queue_full from this check. Donation wall and Golden Borodutch access checks still run after the bypass decision.

Testing

yarn build-ts
yarn test:transcription-abuse-limits
yarn test:donation-wall
yarn lint

Manual QA: use Telegram with a paid/donated chat and send enough voice/audio messages to exceed the old per-user window; expect jobs to enqueue with no “You are starting transcriptions too quickly” reply. Confirm an unpaid/free path still blocks when the abuse limit is exceeded.
