AutoScaling limits

Hey there,

firstly this Serverless plugin really helped me, so thank you!

Not a gripe or request - just a point of discussion I'd love your view on:
Dynamo tables can only be scaled down 4 times in a UTC day. That's BS on AWS part (we can provision up all we like, but backing off i.e. spending less, no no no)!
Anyway, I've run into scaling down limits during a day with my read/write min/max values configured in serverless.yml. Target usage is usually 0.75.
Do you have a way of limiting scale down events? Not necessarily in this plugin, but in general. Is this something you're also seeing when traffic drops off over the course of the day?
