>request more they don't make any guarantees of how much extra quota you will get

How is the logic made for what requests get what?

Maybe a new feature in future iOs would be a user setting for specific apps to slider how much the user wants to allot - and a toggle to "shed other apps as needed" and "shed other apps when temp reaches X"

Apple will never do that. And the algo is undocumented.
