Have just heard back from FMP in response to a query I sent them on 1911 census sub and fair usage limit of 1000 credits (i.e. only 33 images) per month.

They have increased the limit to 5000 credits per month, have just checked the ts and cs on their website and this is what it says:

6. Fair Usage Policy for Subscribers
6.1 To ensure a high quality service for all customers, we enforce a “Fair Usage Policy” for Users with a Subscription whereby we place a cap on use of the Services. We have set the current use limit at an average of no more than 5000 Credits per month over a rolling three month period.
6.2 We may revise our Fair Usage Policy from time to time and will advise you of any changes made.
6.3 If you exceed the Fair Usage Policy limits, We reserve the right to invoice you retrospectively for all Credits used at the rate of 12 pence per Credit and to suspend or terminate your use of the Services

I imagine that this more generous limit (equivalent to 166 original images per month) may well be more strictly policed to ensure that we are using for personal use.
