We are in an era where ‘normal’ and ‘excessive’ need to be redefined.

If the rate exceeds “normal” usage, the publisher notifies the institution with information of when the excessive downloading occurred and over which IPs. More often than not the excessive downloading occurs over the IP address connected to an institution’s proxy server. The institution then attempts to identify the username(s) associated with the downloads and temporarily suspends it. Hope this helps. Stephen Stephen Maher, MSIS NYU Health Sciences Library
