Limit the total bytes transfered?

Has anyone got a method for limiting the total number of bytes
transfered with rsync?

I was thinking running with -n and then using the output to check how
much will been transfered.

I ask because a client had a broken filesystem that occasionally has 2T+
files on it (broken filesystem, so they weren't actually that big) but
we happily ran up a huge b/w bill with rsync.
