Update a spend limit
Replaces the value of the existing limit for the product and period. Send exactly one of amount and unlimited: true. The period’s spend is checked at once: raising the limit above the spend lifts the period’s block (evaluation.released), and lowering it below the spend blocks the product (evaluation.blocked_now). Returns 404 when no limit is set; create it instead.
