Quota management for API products

I guys, I have a question regarding the quota management which we can configure for the API products. A customer wants to know how we handle the quota management if an registered application has access to 2 API products and the App is calling an API proxy who is assigned to both products. For which API product do we decrease the quota counter in this case? Who is able to answer this question?

The behavior is not defined.

A better practice is to NOT have a single credential with access to 2 distinct API Products, which each wrap the same API Proxy. In other words: don't do that.

I totally understand that we should avoid this. However I would like to know the consequences, as this is a question from a customer. Do we decrease the API product quota for all API products to which the called API proxy is assigned to and to which the App has access with the same key?

I understand this is a question from a customer. The answer is

The behavior is not defined. Whatever the behavior is today, it may change tomorrow. Don't depend on it. Don't design your APIs this way.
