Authenticated queries have been on the DB team's backlog for a while. If there is interest I suggest we turn it into an NWI and prioritise it.

A limit is normally applied when querying for objects that could contain personal data:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/12.Access-to-Personal-Data/#blocking-access-to-the-ripe-database

With authenticated queries, there will be no query limit for objects maintained by the user's own maintainer.

Also an unfiltered object can be returned without limit for a user's own objects.
