Is there anyway the admin can limit the user cron jobs?

I have a few users that are running many many crons and it is starting to become a problem, I see other scripts where the admin can set the amount of crons a user can run. I don't mind if it I can't set it to different levels on a per user basses but maybe 20 as a set rate.

Can this be done?

There is no such feature yet. But I think it is possible to create it. I moved your request to the suggestion forum.
In the meanwhile, you can disable certain user to run cron by listing it on /etc/cron.deny.

The package feature manager you can turn cron off instead of for individual packages rather than disabling certain user. The problem occurs when a user has a package that allows crons as in this case. The user purchased a plan that allows crons and they are making a lot of use of them.

Adding a restriction would make the most sense, I have seen another hosting company that limits the amount of crons per package and if you want more you have to purchase more in sets of 5 which is a good way to use the upsell feature.

Is the feature of setting a limit to how many Cron jobs a user can run in the works or has it been dropped?

This feature is available a couple months ago.
