You can change the replies per day on a trust level basis already in site settings. However, you can’t control how many topics a user can open out of the box. There are create topic / post rate limits but these apply to all users. \[1\]

I would suggest:

1. Using groups to control who can `create/reply/see` on certain categories.
2. Have a look at the [Discourse Subscriptions Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-subscriptions/140818) plugin
3. Have a look at the [Discourse Patreon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-patreon-plugin/44366)
4. For a custom solution post your requirements in the #Marketplace category

1. If you want trust level specific rate limits, you could create a #Contribute > Feature request or suggestion 4 below
