Optional feature for limiting how much traffic a Whonix-Workstation may use in total per month.
Not very Whonix specific. Probably just missing documentation on how to do that with any proxy server for any client.

Can be done on gw with the iptables quota feature:

The only reliable way to do this is on an interface basis because a malicious workstation can spoof it's IP and bypass rules based on that.
This will then need gw to support managing multiple internal networks/interfaces.

Command works in Debian wheezy, although I didn't test yet if it stops if the actual quota is hit.
Adding such rules in the right place could be cumbersome. So alternative solutions are still welcome.

Not necessarily, but somewhat, yes. -> T242

There are also other ways. These are documented here:
