I don't mean an actual dollar cost but computing power.
Is there a way to enforce a limit on requests from IoT, or a way to increase costs of running a botnet but not have that cost transfer to the owners of IoT?

Something I've wondered is how much of an impact large botnets have on other systems they rely on. If you had a million compromised CPUs in a small geographic area suddenly jump from a low power state into doing a massive amount of work, could it cause localized brown outs? Some napkin math says probably not, but it's not something I've heard considered much before.
